Residential living
Mary Centre owns two houses in Brampton (Aberdeen and Greenbriar) and three in Scarborough (Whitecap, Redcastle and Leyton), providing homes for 20 adults with a developmental challenge. Here, with a maximum of four residents in each house, each person finds a new home - one with privacy, comfort, friends, activities - and good care.
Our five homes are designed to meet the diverse needs of our residents, who range in age from mid-30s to mid-70s. All residences are wheelchair accessible and include special features such as lifts and grab bars to facilitate the comfort and mobility of those who live there.
We devote a great deal of care to creating a home for each resident that meets his or her own special needs. And we assist each person's efforts in reaching goals at home, at work and in the community.
Some residences are staffed 24-hours-a-day, others 18-hours-a-day, depending upon the amount of support required by residents. Our staff members help each person develop daily living skills and provide supervision and assistance as needed with activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation and eating and self-care. Mary Centre support workers also facilitate access to activities during the day since most of our residents participate in community education, employment or recreation activities.
Mary Centre is also responsible for the safety and well-being of our residents. We carefully monitor the health of each person, assist with medications and therapies as needed and access the appropriate health care services.
