Bellwoods provides services towards improving the person's independence
the focus is on adults with physical disabilities so all of
the training and the transition programs that we have the services
for all geared to helping them be independent. I had a car accident that
left me quadriplegic
I had a brain injury that makes my
speach hard to understand that is why I use this machine.
With the Bellwoods Community Connect
program I am learning to be
more independent and more in control
of my own life.
Kelly is in a specific program called the Community Connect program
and the intention of that program is to
assist with those people currently living in hospital whether they're
in rehab for chronic care, or acute care facilities, or perhaps even long-term
care facility
who have a desire to move out to provide them
with the support to become more independent and be able to do that.
I think what is unique about Bellwoods is Bellwoods treats their clients like
people, human beings like you and us,
because they can direct their care, they ask for what they want, we don't just come in
and do whatever we want for them.
I'm old student at York University and in my last year
what I love about Bellwoods is that it allows me
to live the sort of life that I want to
I'm able to go out and visit my friends
I'm able to live independently on my own.
Without Bellwoods or any other support system I'd be stuck in bed
all day
they are the arms and legs of me so that my mind can
fulfill its potential.
