    These homes provide care for those  with severe mental illness who require live-in support to live as independently as possible in the community. 

    Government has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to complete a review of standards of care and funding models at community care homes. These homes provide care for those  with severe mental illness who require live-in support to live as independently as possible in the community.  Submissions will include an analysis of best practices, staff engagement, funding models, and more. There are currently nine privately-owned and operated community care homes in the province that provide residential accommodation, supervision, and care to more than 130 individuals with complex mental illness. Meanwhile, a  review of long-term care homes was released earlier this week.
