As part of building that independence, March of Dimes provides supportive housing programs on a fee-for-service basis in communities across Ontario.
Residents live independently within a supported apartment complex, with access to around the clock attendant care, rehabilitation services and a team of highly qualified, on-site staff who work with regulated healthcare professionals to provide service in the areas of:
- Occupational Therapy
- Physiotherapy
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Psychology
- Medical Professionals/Specialists
Combining the privacy of individual units with a community of peers, residents are encouraged to connect with neighbors and integrate into a supportive network.
