Welcome to the Dominion Community Guest Home

About Guest Home

Dominion Community Guest Home was founded in February 2002 as a Community Based Option’s Home (CBO) recognized by the Nova Scotia Department of Health.

Dominion Community Guest Home began as a private home which was remodeled into a three-bedroom foster home for adults.

It meets all building code requirements and is designed to provide more than adequate room and board and supervision as set out in the Interim Standards for CBO facilities. Dominion Community Guest Home was privately operated until September, 2003 when it applied for and received government subsidization.

The home is located in central part of Dominion, close to churches, pharmacy, post office, coffee shop, credit union and is with in walking distance to the Dominion Beach and Boardwalk.

Each client has their own furnished room with TV hook up and telephone service.

We have trained staff that are on duty 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Mission Statement

Every person whose personal circumstances have left him or her dependent on others for survival and well-being deserves to be cared for physically, medically, emotionally, and psychologically, especially those who are in the most need.

Program development

	Because of its strong belief that a CBO setting must promote, encourage and facilitate the continued personal growth and development of each resident, Dominion Community Guest Home has developed and/or participated in the following programs:
	Under the Director of Human Services, Dominion. Community Guest Home provides work placements and supervision for students who are currently enrolled in this program at the NSCC Sydney Campus.
	In conjunction with the Department of Community Services as a wage subsidy program, Dominion Community Guest Home orientates services recipients and allows them the opportunity to re-enter the workforce.
	Dominion Community Guest Home participates in a Student Summer Placement program, which it monitors and reports on summer students with disabilities who work with the Continued Care Assistants.
	Dominion Community Guest Home also participates in an Adult Recreation Program. This level of recreation would provide the clients with another form of stimulation at a social level. He/She could help each resident recognize the contributions that they had made throughout a lifetime and help one another to participate in meaningful activities in the community.

Also, to encourage socialization and allow our clients to have structure and routine and at the same time giving them a purpose.

Community Based Options Philosophy of Service

Community Based Options are settings designed so as to promote, encourage and facilitate the continued personal growth and development of each resident. This is to enhance his/her potential to live, work and socialize in the least restrictive, most integrative circumstances available in the community.
