Established
fifty-five years ago, Bellwoods Centres For Community
Living Inc. is
a charitable, not-for-profit organization providing
community based, client directed support services, independent living education programs, and accessible housing for people
with physical
support needs living in the Greater Toronto Area. Bellwoods Centres has been accredited by Accreditation Canada since 2007.
Our
personal support services and independent living programs are offered
to clients who live in the community or in one of our
twenty-four hour supportive housing projects. There is a continuing and expanding need for support services and programs. Our voluntary Board of Directors is drawn from the community, including our clients.
Bellwoods Centres is committed to enabling adults and seniors with physical support needs to live as independently as possible and to direct their own services. We provide individualized services and programs in a range of living environments in Toronto.
Our non-medical personal support services, accommodation
and independent living education programs are available
to individuals sixteen years of age or older with permanent
physical disabilities who live in the greater
Toronto area, require assistance with some or all activities
of
daily living on a continuing basis in order to remain in the community, are able to
direct or learn to direct their own services, and are permanent
residents
of Ontario with a valid health insurance
card. Services are funded by the Ontario
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). A pdf presentation, Bellwoods Centres - An Overview is available for download.
