PERSONALIZED SERVICES
All services for the individuals Kindale serves begin with the creation of a comprehensive and person centred service plan that clearly identifies each person’s needs, goals and dreams – and the steps required to meet them. Once this plan is in place, Kindale’s staff do their best to ensure that the needed supports, services and opportunities are provided. If Kindale is unable to meet all an individuals’ needs or goals, we will do our best to draw in resources or make referrals to others who can help.
Areas that Kindale provides services to individuals include:
1. Health, Safety and Personal Wellness
2. Communication Development
3. Community Inclusion
4. Enhancing Independent Living
Community Development:
Kindale partners with many other organizations to address community issues, including:
Accessible medical services, e.g. Haugen Community Health Centre in Armstrong
