Providing Excellent Care and Empowering Lives

Our mission at Walk of Grace Residential Services is to provide excellent services and treatment to all adults and youth, male and female with developmental disabilities, while simultaneously enhancing their well-being, comfort and happiness.

We are dedicated to enhancing their capabilities and gifts by providing programs that teach valuable life skills for full participation in everyday life. We understand that a residents environment facilitates their overall developmental progress and positive mindset. By providing our residents with a comfortable surrounding and loving care, we enable them to fully express their competencies and experience living a meaningful life.

By providing a structure and needed resources, the youth can progress in life and society and reach their potential.

We view each resident as unique and we recognize that care must be given with devotion, respect and dedication by a team of professional and experienced staff. Our policies and procedures reflect those of our home and of the current legislation within budgetary guidelines and precedents set out by the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.

Parents, foster parents, legal guardians, care-givers and extended family all play important roles in enhancing a resident’s overall sense of well-being. We encourage these relationships and support residents’ families who want to be involved in planning care and activity programs. Their comments and opinions are both sought and appreciated, as their involvement and support continue to add to the positive atmosphere generated by the home.

We believe in care that promotes and enhances the social inclusion and the quality of life of the residents. Through the efforts of a comprehensive care team, we take into account the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual needs of each individual. WGRS also uses quality assurance measures. We promote social inclusion, individual choice, and independence to encourage each resident to increase their learning and enhance their skills.

We take an integrated approach to care, treating residents like family

Through collaboration with community resources and healthcare practitioners, the organization creates individualized programs tailored to residents’ specific goals.

Their philosophy focuses on building skills in areas such as communication, hygiene, daily living, social, and leisure activities, all within a positive behavior support framework. They emphasize the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment.
