Connect Lake Country: We're CONNECTed!!!

It's been too busy to blog at CONNECT Lake Country!! We've had so much on the go in the last month, it's been crazy, funny, hard work, lots of change, lot of good, great people, new people, old people, friendly dogs, tired construction workers, new inspectors and so much more!

Homes A1 and A2 are open, with a total of 10 people moved in...2 more are expected this week! House B1 is slated to open mid-March, with the last three homes following close behind.
Our team of rehabilitation coaches have completed orientation and are creating plans, assessing needs and getting to know everyone at CONNECT
Langley staff have been to the Lake Country site to assist with training and team building
Team Meetings have been held to ensure people are challenged and supported appropriately. We love these meetings as they are filled with potential and opportunities!
We've had a ton of visitors; from family members, friends, colleagues and potential room mates, IH staff, potential new staff...and dogs! We have a lot of dogs!
Both services; transitional rehabilitation and residential services are now being offered. Programs are very fluid and adaptable as we bring in new clientelle with new staff. Interior Health is partnering with us to review applicants, establish move in dates, create rehabilitation plans and to help us provide the most beneficial support.

The Breakfast Club!

We are hoping for "substantial completion" notice from Yellowridge Construction. They are almost ready to officially pass over the keys! We have some kinks to work out; like getting our on-call emergency system running, certifying the elevator, get the landscaping underway, complete work on the telephone & fax system, finish the fireplace mantles and complete the touch ups on the paintwork. Each home is looking beautiful with its own decor scheme. The last of the furniture is being delivered and unpacked this coming week.
