GATESVIEW HOUSE

Our Gatesview House offers permanent supportive housing for the seriously men­tally ill, who would often otherwise be homeless.

Located on a quiet, residential street, Gatesview House looks like any other family home and has been accepted into the neighborhood because Rouge Valley’s staff has kept the community informed and involved in its development.

The house accommodates six adults – each with his/her own room while sharing common areas including the kitchen and living room. While turnover of patients is not frequent people do make progress, become more independent and move on. There is also the option to move into one of the 30 individual units that we have in the community.

Patients are referred to Gatesview by a physician, caseworker or from hostels.

Rouge Valley’s Pathways offers a long-term day program to adult outpatients with serious mental illness.

The five-day-a-week program is located in Scarborough offering adults support in daily life skills, socializing and leisure. Pathways clients are referred by a psychiatrist at our Rouge Valley Centenary hospital site.

Pathways offers clients:

• Education about their illness;
• Rehabilitation counselling;
• Social and recreational activity;
• Work activity;
• Groups on self-esteem, health and wellness;
• And more.
