This program provides an opportunity for adults with special needs to come together to learn and practice life skills, explore the community around them, and expand their experience and knowledge in a number of areas. We work with each individual, their caregivers and other key people in the person's life to adapt a program that best suits the participant. Our well-trained and dedicated staff works hard to create a safe, caring environment, for learning and exploration. In addition, we produce a monthly calendar, which offers a wide range of social activities. The people in our program generate these daily activities with goals set out by caregivers, social workers and the Day Program staff. Our center, located in Kitsilano, is fully accessible and close to bus routes and many services. Children's Program This program provides care and support to children with disabilities and their families in the Vancouver area. It is enhanced with the social, recreational, and educational opportunities so fundamentally important to the well being of any child. Paramount to its success is the commitment of our dedicated staff in creating a family atmosphere in the homes to nurture the development of the kids. VRS takes special care to insure that our children are comfortable and happy which, in essence, is the number one priority of this program. Assisted Living Program This program provides effective care and support for some 25 adults with high care needs, living in Vancouver and Burnaby. Beyond basic care, the focus of this program is the promotion of independence. Residents are encouraged to develop ideas an set goals. As these individuals gain lifer experience and confidence in their own abilities, they will have more options and be better equipped to direct their own lives.
