Mission: Gateways community services believes all people are of great value and strives to be innovative when providing quality supports needed for individuals to lead meaningful lives in their community. The people we serve: infants with developmental delays, children and adults with disabilities, and elders in need of care.
Programs: Adult services have been provided by gateways community service for over 30 years through creative supports to people living in their community. We are committed to helping people live safely at home, have desired employment and fully enjoy their lives regardless of disability. We provide many options of support giving you greater choice, control and flexibility to fit your needs. Consumer directed services allows adults to creatively help develop their own daily activities and management of supports with the assistance of family and friends. Adult service coordinators, who are the first and foremost advocates for the person with whom they work, assist the person to access the services or supports they need. They plan a process with the person's team and ensure the goals of the plan are being met.
