Be at Pathways
Pathways to Independence supports people to live their best lives.
Pathways to Independence is a community based, not-for-profit agency providing assisted community living services and supports to people with an acquired brain injury (ABI) or a developmental disability who may also have complex needs based on their unique goals, abilities, and choices. We promote independent, active lifestyles so the people we support can live their best life in their community. We support people to be as independent as possible based on their goals and choices.
We are pleased to announce that our offices are now open by appointment only, this includes our Snoezelen Room. Please contact our Belleville office if you wish to make an appointment.
Some of our centre-based programs are also now open. Please contact our Programs Department at the Belleville or Ottawa offices for more information. See phone numbers at the bottom of this page.

Stakeholders commented that the care that they receive from Pathways is of high quality, and that when issues arise, team members come together to address them quickly and effectively. Their communication practices are excellent, and as a result, supported individuals are safe, happy, and active in the community.
