Key Features of Care

Grey Era integrates a set of core features designed to support safety, stability, and growth for adults in our programs.

  • Immediate placement

    • Crisis-responsive admission options to ensure adults in urgent situations receive rapid access to safe and stable care.

  • 24/7 supervision (where required)

    • Round-the-clock staffing and oversight in homes where continuous support is necessary to protect well-being and manage complex needs.

  • Basic needs and daily living

    • Consistent support with housing, nutrition, daily routines, and personal care, ensuring fundamental needs are met.

  • Support services

    • Access to counselling, education support, mental health resources, and life skills development, addressing the broader social, emotional, and practical needs of each adult.

  • Dedicated medical follow-up

    • Partnership with a nurse practitioner who provides ongoing medical follow-up, including mandatory medical visits delivered in person or virtually, addressing a common shortfall after foster care ends.

  • Transition planning and collaboration

    • Close collaboration with placing agencies, social workers, and healthcare providers to create and implement individualized transition plans, including long-term placement options and support strategies.

Our Programs

Grey Era Adult Resource Services comprises multiple program streams that correspond to different levels of support and independence. Each stream is structured, clinically informed, and designed to promote gradual and sustainable growth.

Harmony-Style Fully Supported Homes

These homes serve adults who require high levels of supervision, structure, and staff involvement to maintain safety and daily functioning. Residents receive extensive support with personal care, behaviour regulation, daily routines, and community engagement, with staffing models that prioritize consistency and relationship-building.

Bloom Program – Semi-Supported Homes

The Bloom Program offers semi-supported homes for individuals who do not require full-time supervision but still need regular assistance to manage daily life. Supports in this program typically include help with:

  • Daily living and household management.

  • Medication management and health follow-up.

  • Building and practicing independence skills at a manageable pace.

Bloom is designed as a “bridge” for adults working toward more independent living, while retaining the security of scheduled staff support and clinical oversight.

Maverick-Style Semi-Independent Supports

For adults who can live more independently but still benefit from a defined level of support, Grey Era offers flexible support hours through structures similar to the Maverick Program.

Adults may access staff support hours in bundles (for example, 9, 12, or 15 hours per week, with a minimum threshold), which are used for:

  • Skill-building (budgeting, cooking, household management).

  • Problem-solving and planning.

  • Emotional and behavioural support during challenging situations.

These hours are supplementary to per diem arrangements and focus on enhancing quality of life, stability, and community participation
