MACL offers a variety of staffed home services to Youth and Adults in the Mission Community. Our homes are warm and welcoming and our staff work hard to ensure that the rights of those who live in the home are respected and that they have full access to their community in a way that is meaningful to them.
MACL ensures that each home is designed for and around the individual’s needs and interests. Each of our staffed homes are a clear reflection on the individuals who live in the home. Our staffed home programs offer full daily living supports that are safe, warm, person centered and inclusive.
Each person served in MACL’s Staffed Home Services has an individualized plan which outlines the types of support required by the person in his/her home, and in the community. 24/7 staffed services are available to those with complex health care and/or complex behaviour support needs.

Our respite program provides temporary rest and renewal for primary caregivers of a child or youth with a disability. Respite may be as short as a 24-hour period, but can also be for longer periods of time. We match individuals with screened respite contractors who share interests and activities with persons served, and who are willing to provide short-term support.
Individuals receiving respite have opportunities to develop new relationships with other families and friends, and experience different community events and other enjoyable occasions.
Services are available by referral from Ministry of Children’s and Family Development (MCFD).
Private support arrangements are also available. (Fee for Service) Supports may be of a temporary, short-term, long-term or life-long nature.
