For Families

Planning Support Around the Person

Every family’s situation is different.

Some families need respite now. Others are planning for future supported living. Some are looking for community programs, private support, or help understanding what options may be available.

Agnola Care Homes Corp. is being developed to support families through those different stages.

How Our Intake Process Works

The first step is to complete our Family Interest Form.

We will review information such as:

• Age

• Diagnosis and support needs

• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

• Communication needs

• Behavioural and safety considerations

• Mobility and accessibility

• Respite needs

• Preferred location

• Funding

• Move timeline

• Household compatibility

• Family goals

If there appears to be a potential fit, we may contact the family for a more detailed conversation.

Completing the form does not guarantee services, respite, housing, or tenancy.

Private-Pay & Family-Funded Services

Our initial supported-living model is being developed as a private-pay and family-funded option.

Families may use a combination of:

• Personal income

• Family contributions

• Trust funds

• Eligible individualized funding

• Passport funding for eligible supports

• ODSP income or shelter funding where applicable

• Other approved benefits or resources

Housing costs and support-service costs may need to be billed separately depending on the funding source.

Families should always confirm eligible expenses directly with their funding administrator.

Passport Funding

Passport funding may help eligible adults with developmental disabilities purchase certain supports such as:

• Community participation

• Activities of Daily Living support

• Support-worker services

• Caregiver respite

• Person-directed planning

Passport does not automatically cover ordinary rent, groceries, household expenses, or every type of service.

Families should confirm whether a specific expense is eligible before relying on Passport funding to pay for it.

Planning for Supported Living

Families do not need to wait until a crisis happens to begin planning.

You may join our interest list if your family member is:

• Looking to move soon

• Planning for the next 6–12 months

• Preparing for adulthood

• Exploring future housing

• Interested in respite first

• Not sure what level of support will be needed

The information families provide will help us determine where future Agnola homes and services are needed most.

What We Look At Before Offering Services

Agnola will consider:

• Individual support needs

• Staffing requirements

• Safety

• Household compatibility

• Accessibility

• Location

• Available funding

• Family involvement

• Property suitability

• Applicable municipal and provincial requirements

• Whether we can safely meet the person’s needs

Higher support needs do not automatically exclude someone, but the staffing and environment must be appropriate.
