Residential Program
At the heart of L’Arche Greater Vancouver are our four homes where the uniqueness of each person is valued and celebrated.
L’Arche Greater Vancouver currently has four homes for adults with developmental disabilities where the “mutuality of relationships” comes to life every day. People in the homes prepare and share meals, plan outings, do dishes, go for walks, and pray together. One of their highlights is to go on vacation together every summer.
L’Arche homes are places of welcome where families and friends come for dinner, birthday parties and other celebrations. On weekends, there are activities such as bowling, movies and concerts.
All of our homes are fully licensed by the Fraser Health Authority and maintain high standards of care.
Each of our four homes has its own name and story. Three of the homes – Willow, Oak, and Cedar – are in our main building on Sussex Avenue and the fourth home, Cypress, is within walking distance.
Admission is carried out in partnership with our funding agency, Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) – the provincial Crown Corporation responsible for this sector. CLBC is notified when we have an opening.
