Programs & Services

Community. Choice. These are very powerful words. At Pathways to Independence these words mean that every person has the right to choose a safe and life enhancing environment, a place to belong, to share with others... a place to call home.

Fully accredited and a preferred service provider of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Pathways to Independence is regularly assessed and evaluated against exacting standards of care. These standards ensure that we can provide the highest quality of residential services for the people we support and their families to choose from.

24 Hour Supported Homes

Staffed seven days a week, 24 hours a day, our supported residences provide a caring environment to small groups of people making and sharing a home. Located in both rural and urban environments across south eastern Ontario, Pathways residences are customized to meet the physical and social needs of the residents.

Supported Independent Living

We all need a little help. For those individuals who prefer and are able to live on their own, Pathways to Independence provides high quality apartments. Professional staff provide support to people based on their individual needs.

Family Homes

More opportunities, choices, independence and quality of life are some of the benefits offered to people when they are able to live with a family home provider. Following a rigorous approval and matching process that includes assessing shared interests, compatibility, location and access to services, a supported person lives with a family and shares in their lives. Supported by their natural family and professionals from Pathways to Independence, the Family Home program provides a stable living option to people.

Respite Care

Pathways to Independence provides temporary accommodation at a 24 Hour supported home or a family home in an emergency or as a break from other living arrangements.
