Davidson Residence is designed specifically to care for medically complex infants and very young children. Referrals to the program often come directly from hospital pediatric wards.
These two homes are staff-operated residences located in Pickering. They both provide twenty-four hour care for multiply handicapped, medically complex (fragile) children. Both homes are equipped to manage non-ambulatory children. Guild One Residence opened in 1993 and Guild Two in 1995.
Sheppard Residence opened in 1998. This home is a staff-operated residence located in Pickering. It provides twenty-four hour care for multiply handicapped, medically complex (fragile) children. This home is equipped to manage non-ambulatory children.
Valley Farm, a staff operated residence opened in August 1999, provides care for developmentally and physically handicapped children. While these children are not as medically fragile as those in some of our other residences, they do require significantly more supervision.
Our Pre-school and Infant Day Program is for very young children not yet attending or unable to attend regular school programs in the community. This program focuses on
physiotherapy, sensory stimulation and infant development. Full days, five days per week.
Our Adult Day Program was established to provide opportunities for our young adults to experience social interaction and recreational activities in a safe, supportive setting. Each client has a daily schedule tailored to his or her personal needs. Daily activities and community outings are planned to provide the young people with the best possible experiences. The activities are based on the interests and abilities of the participants.
The clients in both programs are medically fragile and their medical and physical needs, always our primary concern, are closely monitored. There is a focus on sensory stimulation and relaxation. Some clients receive daily, prescribed physiotherapy to maintain or improve their range of motion. Full days, five days per week.
