Services and Housing In the Province (SHIP)

SHIP has championed the fundamental right of housing for nearly 30 years. As a respected health service and housing support provider, we advocate for Healthy Housing™ by forming lasting relationships with landlords and developers.

We advocate for mental and physical health services through in-house service teams and partnerships with community-based agencies. SHIP is known for our record of identifying gaps in available service provision and directly addressing those needs. Many of our programs and service models have gained national attention within the health care field.

Assisted Living

Based in Orangeville, the Assisted Living Program is a partnership with Dufferin County that allows SHIP to proactively support frail seniors who want to continue living independently in their own homes. Case management, support services and in-home interventions include client-directed personal care and light homemaking, safety checks, medication reminders and assistance, liaison services with primary health care providers and 24/7/365 response to emergency situations. The program’s goals are to reduce visits to emergency departments and provide seniors in hospital with assistance that reduces or eliminates the need for alternative level of care beds or unnecessary admission to long-term care facilities.
