 About Us Minimize

Optional Rehabilitation Services Inc., (OPTIONS), a private company incorporated August 7, 1986, was born from the desire to develop new, exciting and innovative routes for providing care and support to people with disabilities.

At OPTIONS, we believe in the rights of every individual and strive to promote, educate and advocate for these rights.

At OPTIONS, we believe that individuals need to explore opportunities in order to discover their potential and take a valued place in society.

At OPTIONS, we take an individual approach in planning services. We believe that flexibility is key and endeavor to create service situations that are attuned to an individual's needs.

At OPTIONS, we encourage input and open commmunication from an individual's relatives, friends and significant others so that the best possible service can be designed.

OPTIONS is currently involved in a number of service areas providing staffing support to a variety of individuals in their own homes as well as vocational and community support, monitoring and outreach support. 

OPTIONS recruits qualified and experienced personnel with the individuals, guardians and/or families involved in the hiring ensuring compatible "matches" regarding skill areas, interests, etc.

 

Ongoing specialized training opportunities are made available to OPTIONS' personnel ensuring up to date skills and expertise are available to the individuals being served.  

OPTIONS works closely with representatives from Alberta Family & Social Services, the Office of the Public Guardian, the Alberta Association for Community Living, various Community Based agencies and the community at large.
