Staffed Living

Staffed Homes for People with Diverse Abilities

We operate staffed living homes, supports to participate in your community, and individual and family wellness supports. The people and families supported by Integra have a variety of needs, all of which are met within the communities where they live, work and play. We focus on abilities, accessing the community and social activities that develop interests and friendships.

The home environment and staffing is structured in a way that blends the preferences, lifestyle choices, or other requirements of the residents in the home. Homes are staffed by trained and caring individuals who specifically respond to the ever changing needs and preferences of the residents. This training includes, but is not limited to, First Aid/CPR, Medication Administration, the Art of Personal Care, Essence of Home, Developing Living Culture, and may include additional training to address specific behaviour.

Staffed Living

Each home operated by Integra has a highly specialized Residential Manager. The Manager is most often hands-on, providing direct care to the residents of the home, and to be a role model, providing supportive guidance to the home’s care team. Staffed Living Services, are managed and monitored for quality assurance by one of Integra’s Director of Operations for each Region. Meetings occurs with all Managers for training, and sharing information on a regular basis. This provides opportunity to share successes, discuss ideas, changes, plan events, share resources, be supportive, and attend training venues.

Our adult homes are funded by CLBC and referrals are made by CLBC. Each of Integra’s staffed living homes are warm and inviting, offering a range of amenities, including:

  • Spacious family rooms
  • Comfortable furniture
  • Large kitchens
  • Modern, accessible bathrooms
  • Personalized bedrooms
