At the Excel Society, we partner with our clients, their families, and our funders to provide the best possible care to be the Service Provider of Choice. To better provide for the people in our care, we offer 17 community-based support homes in Edmonton that operate under the Wellness Integrated Support Home (WISH) Program funded by Alberta Health Services.
Each residence under the WISH program is primarily barrier free and consists of six to eight individuals who receive exceptional care and support from our team of Health Care Aides. While all members of the residence share common areas, each client can enjoy their own private bedroom, and in many cases, their own private ensuite.
The goal within each of these residences is to provide spaces in the community where adults with complex needs may receive 24/7 access to support to accommodate their needs. From daily activities such as meal preparation and personal care to assistance in accessing recreational activities, our person-centered approach allows us to work with the individual to ensure they receive the highest level of care. Every client also has a WISH Case Manager from Addictions and Mental Health who regularly assess the needs of the client to effectively schedule access to health care services.
By basing our services on the Recovery Model and focusing our efforts on strength-based care, each client will receive the highest levels of quality, safety, and service excellence. Allowing them to achieve their own personal goals and grow to become more independent members of the community.
The Excel Society has a number of group homes in the Edmonton area that provide 24/7 care to individuals with various cognitive and developmental disabilities. These individuals are primarily funded by Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) and/or Northwest Territories and Nunavut (NWT), and provide them with the assistance they need in their daily lives.
For each of our group homes, the main goal is to provide these individuals with a safe and supportive environment where they may engage with the community, grow their abilities and work towards greater independence in their day-to-day lives.
We also are equipped with a online safe medication administration system called Catalyst, which is available in our homes.
