James Bay Association for Community Living desires to be responsive to the residential needs of adults living with a developmental disability. Our residence provides support for all daily living needs on a 24/7 basis. All referrals for any services offered through James Bay Association for Community Living are processed through the Developmental Services Ontario Northeast Region. JBACL staff are not able to accept referrals from any other source; however, we would be happy to answer any specific questions you may have regarding any of our services. We always like to hear from you, so don’t hesitate to give us a call and share your thoughts, ideas, and questions.
Below is a description of the various residential services we provide.
James Bay Association for Community Living has one (1) group home located in Moosonee. The residence capacity is seven (7) permanent placements; we are currently at full capacity.
The home is staffed and designed to meet needs in areas such as life skills, social skills, and behavioral support. Specialized support is available, dependent on staffing levels and ability, for example:
- ability to respond to specific physical and health-related needs
- communication systems such as picture boards
- safety systems such as door alarms to prevent wandering
The goals of group living are:
- to provide residential accommodation and support for adults with developmental disabilities
- to respond to the needs of individuals and their families who require a group living option for people with a developmental disability and who are not able to consider independent community living
- to provide specialized care for people whose severity of disability limits their accessibility to appropriate services through other networks
- to provide adults with a comfortable and safe home that allows them to continue to connect with their families, to be involved with their community, and have the option to move out of their parents’ home as they become adults
