Accommodation planning
Explore suitable options, including group living, supported living, individualized accommodation, respite and transitional housing.
SIMTIAR PRACTICE PARTNERS
Consulting & Agency Partnerships.
Working together to develop accommodation and support solutions.
Every individual has different needs, and agencies sometimes require support to bring the right accommodation, staffing and services together. Simtiar Services works alongside agencies, First Nations communities and service providers to explore options and develop practical solutions for children, youth and adults.
ACCOMMODATION · CARE · COLLABORATION
Solutions shaped around the people you support.
Consultation may involve an individual’s accommodation needs, a service gap or a broader partnership opportunity. Together, we explore what is needed, what is feasible and how a proposed solution could be delivered.
Individualized support planning
Help shape support arrangements around the person’s strengths, daily living needs, culture, family connections and goals.
Complex support needs
Collaborate on approaches for individuals who need additional structure, specialized staffing, autism and developmental supports, or coordinated clinical involvement.
Staffing & intensity of care
Help identify the level of supervision, staffing, training and professional input required for the proposed arrangement.
Program development & partnerships
Support agencies and communities exploring new residential services, youth housing projects or community-based support programs, with clear roles and a shared approach to delivery.
Coordinated transition planning
Work with the referring agency and support network to plan moves between care settings or toward greater independence.
Build a practical foundation.
For group homes, adult support agencies, nonprofits, DFNA/CFS organizations, new providers, families and caregivers.
