Pathways


As people with developmental disabilities age into later life, Garth Homer is a constant in their changing world. For the most part, people with developmental disabilities age much like everyone else: their needs and interests change , their functional abilities change; health problems increase, and they must cope with major life transitions and a shrinking social circle. Garth Homer provides services for older age clients that help address these changes, delivering tailored health supports for our older age clients.


The Pathways program is a place to meet old friends, to participate in community activities, and to grow older with dignity and choice. Pathways participants enjoy both health and social supports in a bright, open space, accessible to wheelchairs and other mobility supports. 

Strategies

  • An accessible garden space just outside its doors
  • Opportunity to relax, play games, puzzles and iPad activities
  • Many comfortable chairs and cups of tea
  • Baseline cognitive assessments to monitor changes associated with ageing, including dementia
  • transport in easy access vehicles

Activities

  • Outings into the community- Butchart Gardens, walks, coffee
  • Planning, shopping and cooking hot lunch
  • Crafts
  • Music
  • Yoga and relaxation
