Home sharing provides a supportive living arrangement for persons with diverse abilities who seek independence but require personal support. Kindale offers home share opportunities across various home types and welcomes a range of providers, from individuals to families.
Success relies on strong collaboration between the home share provider, individual, and coordinator, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. Ongoing support and monitoring help maintain positive, long-term placements.
Kindale offers Community Living and Day Options for adults of all ages and abilities. These programs enhance skills, recreation, socialization, and community inclusion, significantly boosting self-esteem and quality of life.
Kindale is shifting services from sheltered settings to community-based options, especially for younger individuals who are unfamiliar with institutional programs and often reluctant to join traditional activities.
To support this, Kindale has opened two Community Inclusion Centres:
Kindale owns and operates multiple group homes in the North Okanagan and Shuswap areas that provide safe and supportive housing for dozens of persons served with diversabilities. Kindale’s residential options include: both Independent and supported living arrangements. Each of the residential homes focus on a meaningful life chosen by our person served with the support of all the people who care about them.
Our residential homes are staffed 24 hours a day and are licensed through the Ministry of Health, who also monitors health and safety matters for each person served, both in and out of Kindale homes.
Each of our residences is designed and staffed to provide the residents with the most home-like atmosphere possible, located in typical residential areas and resembling other homes in the neighborhood. Each person served enjoy their own personalized bedroom or suite as well as spacious and comfortable living and dining rooms where they can relax and socialize as part of the Kindale family. Wholesome and nutritious meals are prepared on-site, with the help of persons served (if possible), and everyone dines together as family.
Person centered practices guide our supports and service which respect each individual’s right and responsibility to consider choices and make decisions to achieve their wishes wants and dreams. Programs are prepared on an individual basis and are carried out in conjunction with the Person Centered Plans. This emphasizes the person served goals, hopes and ambitions to live the best qualities of life possible. We work with them to teach and assist them with everyday life skills to achieve their goals in positive, supportive programs and activities
Kindale offers customized and supported employment opportunities through CLBC services, WorkBC services and the Employment Readiness Program. Kindale uses a person centred approach with the goal of finding the right fit for both the employee and the employer for sustainable employment. Kindale works in partnership with organizations and businesses in the North Okanagan and Shuswap areas to create “real work for real pay” positions for persons served.
Kindale works with both the employer, and the individual looking for work, to find a placement that fills the needs of both the employee and the employer.
Many of Kindale’s persons served live on their own in independent living arrangements in Kindale-owned homes, rented homes, or even homes that are owned by the person served. Kindale Outreach services allow the same level of independence while helping to support individuals with certain tasks that may not be easily accessible to them.
These sorts of services can include:
Outreach Support provides targeted hourly support through one-on-one or group arrangements, both within and outside of the home environment. These services are funded by CLBC and are provided to the individual for a certain number of hours per week, depending on the level of need.
The focus of this program is not to do the tasks for the individual, but to assist the individual in doing tasks themselves in a safe and constructive way, while sustaining the independence of the person served.
