COS team help Lauren and Both find a place to call home

Two participants, Lauren and Both (pronounced Booth) were referred to the Ability Options Coordination of Supports (COS) team in mid-March looking for supported accommodation. 

Lauren was referred as she was based at Springwood Hospital with no medical reason to stay there. During Lauren’s first appointment with the Support Coordinator, Karen, she and her family expressed their desire for her to move into a permanent home to call her own. Within two weeks, Lauren relocated into a fully accessible apartment that Karen, had sourced through her networks.

Following a stroke in September 2019, COS participant, Both required medium-term accommodation. Karen coordinated a team of people, including his Therapist, Social Worker, General Practioner, and Supported Independent Living provider and sourced a fully accessible apartment with 24/7 supports, completed his transition plan, and successfully requested funding - All within two weeks, including the Easter break.
