Supported Living Options
Group Homes
Semiahmoo House Society offers a variety of residential group homes. Each
individual living in these homes is encouraged to plan and live their own
lives with encouragement from family, friends and their support team. The
twenty-four hour a day professional support team are all taught the
philosophy of self-determination.
Life Skills Support/Semi-independant
Living
The support provided to individuals in this model is very individualized.
Individuals live in their own homes but have support from a trained support
team to help them in developing daily life skills such as cooking, cleaning,
budgeting and socializing. The goal in this program is for the individuals
to develop their skills further to allow them to live independently.
Roommate model
This model is for individuals who are wanting to live in their own home
with a roommate who can assist in providing some support.
Apartment Living
Individuals have the option of living in their own apartment with other
supported individuals living in their own apartments in the same complex.
There is a support team who also resides in the same complex. This model
allows for independent living with support as needed.
Family Support
When an individual does not want to live in a group home, but wants/needs
the support of a family environment, Family Support may be the answer.
Family providers are sub-contracted by Semiahmoo House Society and provide
24-hr support to the individuals in their home. In our Family Support
program, individuals may also live in a separate suite within the support
family’s home.
The driving force of all our supported living options is the Person
Centred Planning Process.
