Vincent, De Paul, and Martineau Homes

Housing:

We opened our first home for seniors who are developmentally challenged in July 1984;

The Society was approached to help provide permanent housing during the de-institutionalization of people with developmental and physical disabilities;

We currently have three homes in Scarborough with a total of 18 men and women.

Principles of Service

• To provide permanent homes with 24 hour care for people with developmental and physical challenges;
• To provide an environment that supports the residents with their spiritual, physical and emotional needs;
• To provide an atmosphere which respects the uniqueness of each individual;
• To encourage each resident to enter into the decision making process in areas affecting their lives;
• To promote community awareness through participation as full members of the community.
