SERVICES

Eligibility:
Our programs are available for Adults with Developmental Disabilities 18 years of age or older who are eligible to receive funding from Persons with Developmental Disabilities, Calgary Region Community Board or other private or government-funded sources.

Available Services: The programs offered are tailored to individual needs/desires and emphasize independence and initiative.

Residential Support (1020):
Residential services consist of Live-in Support homes, throughout the City of Calgary and area, with one or two represented adults in the same home.  Live-in Support Homes provide the represented adult with a live in caregiver called a Permitted Subcontractor.  The supports are typically provided from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.; Monday to Friday; twenty-four hours on weekends, statutory holidays; during day program closures or when the represented adult is ill.  The Permitted Subcontractors are required to be in full compliance to the ACDS CET Provincial Standard through a Support Home Service Agreement with Resourceful Futures.

Community Access (3000):
Community Access services are designed to assist represented adults to explore and engage in meaningful daytime activities, based on the represented adult’s circumstances, desires and interest typically between 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; Monday through Friday.  Staff to represented adult ratio is dependent on the needs of the represented adult.  Resourceful Futures Community Access program operates from 432-28 Street N.E., Calgary, Alberta.  Resourceful Futures’ main office is located at the same site as the community access program.  This allows for the leadership team to provide close monitoring, supervision, support and immediate response/intervention to critical issues.

In/Out of Home Respite (1050): 
In/Out of Home Respite supports work in conjunction with the live-in residential supports (Code 1020-Permitted Subcontractors).  This service is an extended support service for represented adults who require intensive supports.   The supports can be in and/or out of the home, depending on the represented adults needs and circumstances.  Through the Support Home Service Agreement with Resourceful Futures, all respite workers are held to the same standard of support, credentials and compliance to the ACDS CET Provincial standards.
