Assisted Living/Supportive Housing

 

Assisted Living/Supportive Housing is a publicly funded, community support service that provides eligible high-risk seniors.  With funding from Ontario Health, Legion Village operates as a Health Service Provider to deliver Supportive Housing under the Assisted Living Services Policy, 2023. This entails providing a combination of housing assistance and services to enable people to live as independently in their homes for as long as possible. To determine eligibility, an Ontario Health atHome Care Coordinator must complete an assessment. The program is free of charge, although space is limited. 

We provide a specific level of care tailored to seniors who require some assistance with daily living but do not need full-time medical care. Our program offers access to personal support workers 24/7. Our PSWs assist with activities of daily living, such as personal care, medication assistance and reminders, and light housekeeping. However, we are not equipped to provide the intensive medical/nursing services available in nursing homes, retirement homes, or hospitals.

We specialize in creating a supportive community environment where residents can maintain their independence while receiving the assistance they need. When considering a referral or transition back home, please bear in mind our scope of care. Referrals to the Assisted Living/Supportive Housing program need to be made to Ontario Health atHome. We are well-suited for individuals who need some support but are stable and do not require continuous medical supervision.

We’re eager to collaborate and support the health and wellbeing of our community members.
