OUR PROGRAMS




AT HEAVENSGATE, WE SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITH A VARIETY OF PURPOSEFUL SERVICES AND
PROGRAMS TAILORED TO MEET THE POPULATION WE SERVE.

We combine behavioral, educational, community living, rehabilitative,
familial/individual strengths, and medical services to help individuals learn,
adjust, and thrive.




OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE:



Shared Supportive Roommate Living Program


WHAT WE OFFER — COMMITMENT, EXPERTISE, INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT




WITH ONGOING SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE FROM HEAVENSGATE, THE HOUSEHOLD BECOMES A
FAMILY — ONE IN WHICH ALL MEMBERS ARE INTEGRAL TO THE WELLBEING OF THE FAMILY.




The core of our SSRLP is Roommate matching and Family Connections. We believe
that shared living increases stability, is flexible, creates oneness, and
enriches the life of the new resident and host or primary caregiver. This
program is grounded in the concepts of connections. We strive to create
opportunities for individuals to live rich and meaning lives as contributing
members of their communities while adhering to positive behavioural
interventions and special education.

Our host families (Agency sub-contractors) receive the backing and support of
program staff, case management, and program oversight by clinicians, alongside a
robust on-call system as deemed necessary.

Caregivers in our Supportive Roommate Living program assist individuals with
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities with skills for daily living and
other individual needs in a manner that is similar to our Residential Group Home
program. However, with Supportive Roommate, service is provided in the
caregiver’s personal home, which often results in a more casual, and nurturing
environment.

Warmth, care, and respect are provided as the norm in a nurturing family
environment, that happens to have open their arms to include those they care
for. Being part of the family in our supportive roommate model very often leads
to a loving and rewarding quality of life.

Across all our programs, HeavensGate provides a Person-Centered approach to
individually tailor services in supportive homes in a way which best complements
the personal strengths of each individual. We strive to provide the tools those
individuals need to live, work, recreate and ultimately thrive in their
community. Supportive roommates promote independence and community participation
in a very respectful, engaging, and supportive way to enhance the overall
quality of life of persons with developmental disabilities.

Direct care providers in our Supportive programs have been thoroughly vetted and
have passed exhaustive background checks. More importantly, they share our core
values of improving the lives of the individuals we serve.

HeavensGate devotes considerable time and resources to identify opportunities to
match applicants with Supportive roommates that is just right for them. We
consider each applicant’s personality, style, desires and needs in order to make
the perfect match to the home, care provider and other residents. This has led
to exceedingly high satisfaction and retention rates.

If you are interested in our Supportive roommate program, please contact us to
apply, so we can begin matching you to the right home. If you are interested in
being a supportive host, please contact us to apply and upload your
qualifications.

Our HGSS respite services program offers short-term care for adults and children
with special needs, providing their families much needed time to devote to other
life needs.

We understand that being away from a child is difficult for any parent, never
more so when that child has a developmental disability. Knowing your child is
being cared for by dedicated, compassionate care providers, in a safe and
friendly environment, provides tremendous comfort and relief. Families can draw
comfort in knowing that their loved one is being well cared for by professional
care providers who are certified in CPR, first-aid and disciplines supportive of
an array of physical, emotional and behavioural needs.

Respite offers parents and caregivers an opportunity to take some time off from
caring for their family member.

Respite stays are pre-scheduled.

employment options.

Job coaches train, support, motivate, and assist individuals with disabilities
in their jobs. We advocate for individuals who may be looking for advancement
opportunities or job change, working toward individual independence and
inclusion in the workplace.

Service plans are tailored to meet the specific needs, goals, and strengths of
each individual served. An evaluation and assessment process helps identify the
optimal supports recommended for each individual. The goal of our services is to
equip individuals with the skills, resources, and supports they need to live and
work successfully in their communities.

Cooking and Baking Programs

customer service, grocery list preparation, healthy dietary planning, safety and

to learn the necessary skills needed for independent living or progression to
employment in the food industry.

Customer Service (Block four) This session includes the importance of customer
service, how to greet a customer, how to properly set and clear a table, how to

Addictions and Mental Health programs

Our mission is to ensure that we address the whole person, integrating care and
supports in ways that support the unique needs and preferences of each person we
serve. Our goal is to provide integrated care that addresses the whole
individual, including intellectual and developmental disability, addiction,
mental and behavioural health, and the primary care conditions of everyone, many
of which are inexorably linked in the population we serve.

The Whole-Person Integrated Care team consists of caring professionals that
understand the myriad of complex issues people with disabilities are challenged
with daily. As part of our holistic care, the team of professionals who provide
treatment on a case-by-case basis will include registered nurses, clinical
social workers, psychologists, mental healthcare practitioners, intellectual
disability specialists, and psychiatrists. The outcome is a successful plan that
incorporates medical and behavioral health care with preventative and wellness
services to support each person with dignity and integrity.

Recreation Performing and Fine Arts Programs

options to develop the potential for growth through creative expression and
showcase opportunities.

skills with peers and staff. For example, our dance program, it offers unique
performance opportunities at our annual dance recital or community events. This
program will give individuals an opportunity to showcase their culture and
identity, constantly practice their culture while keeping it close to heart.

OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:



Is housing provided by HeavensGate to Sub-contractors?

Heaven’sGate does not provide housing to caregivers. We encourage all our
customers to do their own due diligence and look for appropriate housing that
works for them and their roommates.

If there are special requirements for housing that are needed, Heaven’sGate can
assist with ideas, but Heaven’sGate will not take part in any of the leasing or
rental agreements.

Is HeavensGate designed for people to move into the caregiver’s living space,
the space of the individual with disabilities, or would a new space be required?

All scenarios below are correct.

 * If the person with disability has an extra room for rent and is looking for a
   caregiver to move in.
 * The potential caregiver has an extra room to rent and is looking for someone
   with a disability to move in.
 * Look to find a new location that would work best for both parties.

If needed, HeavensGate can assist with finding new housing options that
accommodate the needs of both parties.

I need assistance completing a profile. Can someone help me?

Yes, contact us by clicking here or calling us at (403) 966-3604.

What criteria will I be able to search for in a potential roommate?

You will be able to search for the desired living location, the amount rent
affordable, what their interests and hobbies are, age, gender, and what they are
looking for in a roommate or roommates.

How long should two interested parties communicate before deciding to become
room mates?

We suggest talking several times and meeting multiple times in public. Choosing
a roommate is a big event for all parties involved, so there will most likely be
a several face-to-face meetings at the coffee shops, restaurants, and other
public places to ensure comfort and compatibility. The HeavensGate team will
provide directions that will help guide both parties through the process of
getting to know each other.

I currently have a living space that is perfect, and I do not want to move, and
I have an extra bedroom. Can I stay here and have the roommate move in and
assist with the rent?

Yes.

What happens if the Supportive Roommate does not work out as planned?

Although we do everything to avoid a contract/lease termination, the individual
with a disability will stay in the home and the HeavensGate team will provide
fill-in staff while we search for new long-term roommate. If the caregiver is a
homeowner, we will find immediate temporary housing for the individual with
disabilities, while we start the process again.

What supports do you have available?

HeavensGate team will take a case-by-case look at each situation to make sure we
have the proper supports in place before signing a lease.

I still want to enjoy all the things I enjoy now. Can I do that with my room
mate?

Absolutely! That is the whole point of supportive roommate: what you seek is
seeking you! There is a match out there for you who has the same interests as
you do, and who wants to live in the same neighborhood, and is looking for a
roommate like you because you share the same interest.

I am a potential caregiver, and I am worried that I will not find a compatible
roommate, because I am not able to provide all the support needed to the
individual with disabilities. Can I still participate in HeavensGate supportive
roommate?

Yes! The HeavensGate team will make sure to find other solutions to provide the
support that you cannot fulfill.

What happens if I am a caregiver, and I want to take a vacation?

HeavensGate team will provide temporary staffing while you are gone. We ask that
you give us minimum 3 months notice.

I’m a potential caregiver, but I don’t have any experience in disability
services. Can I still sign up?

Yes! We are looking for people of all backgrounds who think this program would
be a great fit for them. We will offer appropriate training so that you’ll be
prepared to help support your roommate.

What can disqualify me from becoming a caregiver?

An individual can be disqualified based on information from the government,
province, and territories that include a conviction, admission to any of the
crimes listed on Canada website or a finding of substantiated maltreatment of a
minor or vulnerable adult that is determined to be serious and/or recurring as
defined in abuse of persons act.

I have a spouse and family. Can I be a caregiver?

Absolutely! We have individuals looking to live with families.
