Residential

ILHS currently operates a variety of residential options in the Victoria region, including shared homes and apartments.

All the shared homes have wheelchair accessible features and provide each Individual with their own room. Some furnishings are provided, but Individuals are encouraged to decorate with their own personal effects. Two of the homes have accessible, raised garden beds, where Individuals can grow flowers or food if they wish. Residential Care Workers are available on a 24-hour basis to assist the Individuals to develop independent lifestyles to the extent they are able, and to participate in the management of household finances, decision-making, and directing activities of daily living.

Living in in these homes is an affordable option for those who receive Persons with Disabilities benefits (PWD) as they will be eligible for a BC Housing Rent Subsidy. To qualify for housing with the Independent Living Housing Society, once must require personal, intermediate or extended care, and must have been assessed and approved by Long Term Care or eligible services from Community Living British Columbia (CLBC).

Testimonials

I feel like I’m on vacation when I go to the B&B. I get to have a break and so does my Mom. The people there are nice. The staff are friendly and supportive. I like talking to them; they treat me with respect. It’s always fun at the B&B. I visit with friends, go to the mall, Special Woodstock and throw parties! We even went to a Pow Wow.
