Not two humans are alike, and brain injuries create complex support and rehabilitation needs unique to each person. With this top of mind, our team, which is comprised of participants, their family members, our professionals and staff, design a program specifically for each participant. Our people implement these programs on a daily basis.

Real life, practical approach to rehabilitation
The duration of individualized programs and length of stay for our participants vary from a few days to years. We truly offer a unique therapeutic community environment. By receiving rehabilitation in a home-like environment, we have found the re-learning of skills to be more functional and meaningful than in a hospital or institutional setting. Participants are able to receive rehabilitation in a more realistic environment on a day-to-day basis, which creates an increased ability to transfer the skills they learn to their own community environment. Connect offers both transitional rehabilitation as well as residential options for people living with acquired brain injury.

We encourage the participation of family and friends and it is with their input and suggestions which establishes the direction and focus of the programs. We understand that the effects of brain injury have a devastating impact on family and loved ones and therefore family and friends are included in our community of support. Family, friends, fun, social connections and involvement in the community are important aspects of participant programs.

Individualized programs may include:

• Physical, speech and occupational therapy
• Computers – Internet, assessments and skills.
• Behaviour support and social skills development
• Peer support and community activities
• Daily living skills
• Volunteer programs.
• Leisure and recreational opportunities

Our homes are fully licensed as “Specialized Adult Residential” under British Columbia’s Community Care and Assisted Living Act and thoroughly inspected on a regular basis. We work with a wide range of funding agencies including private and public insurance companies, WorkSafe BC, government programs, health authorities and private pay.
