PROGRAMS AND SERVICESADULT & YOUTH SERVICESResidential ServicesA home is a place where one finds comfort, refuge and renewal. It is a place of belonging. It is also an extension of the one who lives there, a place where one’s personal tastes and preferences are visible. Creating homes for adults and youths with disabilities can sometimes be challenging because of the diverse interests, influences and demands that bear upon such efforts. Nevertheless, within our capacity to do so, we are steadfastly committed to providing the means for making a genuine “home” to those who receive our residential services. Supportive Living Options Creating a home requires balancing the varied interests, influences and demands of all the individuals living there. BACI endeavours to support all individuals in choosing and creating homes that satisfy their personal needs and tastes -- a place they can call their own . BACI operates 15 staffed homes, providing support to two to five individuals per home. Typically, these homes are funded through Community Living BC (CLBC) and are licensed under the Community Care Facilities Act. Currently, 56 individuals are receiving support in our residential homes. Family Care Homes Within the family care model, there are several different options. An individual can: live in a family home, having a private bedroom but sharing a common living space; have their own private suite in a family home, or; live in their own apartment, with a family living next to them who provides the support they need to increase their independent living skills. The option chosen depends on what the individual wants and needs from their service. Currently, 13 individuals are supported in family care homes. Subsidized Housing Options Through partnership with other organizations, BACI is able to offer both fully subsidized and integrated housing options in the Burnaby area. The most recent addition was the donation of 4 apartments at the Buchanan Towers, which provided the opportunity for 4 individuals to move into their own homes. BACI hopes to continue to develop these community partnerships and be able to offer further options in the future. Current options are: Buchanan Towers: occupancy 4 Filby court: occupancy 12 Madison: occupancy 8 Orchard Heights: occupancy 10 Stride Place: occupancy 123 Fill out our Application Form for housing. Please call 604.515.7510 for more information, and for how to submit the form. Respite Services The goal of respite services is to provide additional support, rest and renewal to the primary caregivers while BACI provides a safe, enjoyable, and meaningful experience for the individual. Respite can be provided in the individual’s own home, in a family home within our Life Sharing Network, or in a staffed home. Currently, 14 individuals are receiving our respite services. An adult man with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and other health and behavioural challenges, lives in an apartment with his aging father. The two men have such a strong bond, that even though they’re no longer capable of living together in a way that ensures each other’s health and safety, they will not separate. BACI respects this relationship and recognizes that significant supports are required in order for it to be sustained. In-home respite services are now provided seven days per week. With supports for all household chores, shopping, and cooking, they are doing very well and their lives have changed remarkably for the better.
