The Christians Horizons held the sod turning yesterday afternoon for their future Group Home at 201 Collins Crescent in Creighton. Their Executive Director Stefan Thomas noted their mission is to work together with adults who experience disabilities to accomplish their goals and nurture communities where everybody belongs….

“We’ll provide services for adults with developmental disabilities.  That can look like residential support, helping people make meals, do their laundry, take some medications but also community supports, helping them get out, get jobs if that’s what they are interested in, contribute to the community and the big thing for us is helping people share their gifts as we all have gifts and we want to make sure folks we’re supporting have a way to share those gifts with their community.  We’ll also be doing some independent living supports which are for folks who have more skills for independence and might just need ten or so hours of support a week to get other things done and stay on top of stuff whether it be banking or other things.”

The group home will have five clients who require higher levels of support with 24 hour supervision as well as  the two self contained units for independent living programming.

Melfort MLA Todd Goudy added they are pleased to see Christian Horizons partner with the provincial government and Creighton for the benefit of the community.
