More than 30 years of experience

For more than 30 years TCS has operated a variety of programs that have focused on excellence and accountability in service delivery. We are constantly exploring new models of service delivery in order to address the changing needs of individuals. TCS is able to respond quickly, efficiently and effectively to referrals of individuals with increasingly complex issues.

Our philosophy of service

Our services focus on the gifts, skills and assets of individuals, families and communities rather than their problems, needs and deficits. TCS appreciates and embraces cultural differences of individuals served. Persons served, families and referral sources have consistently referenced exceptional and innovative services; timely and informative communication; person-centered plans; quality risk assessments; and effective partnering with stakeholders, families, and other agencies.

family involvement

We believe that people who will be directly affected by a decision must have a part in its creation. We welcome and encourage the input and involvement of families and support networks into every aspect of their loved-ones lives. Individuals, families and communities have the capacity and strength to deal with their own issues. Lasting solutions are found within welcoming communities.

QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE INDIVIDUAL

TCS has integrated Dr. Robert Schalock’s Quality of Life domains for the purpose of enhancing the quality of life of the people that we support. We focus on each individual’s personal support plan in order to achieve his or her desired quality-of-life outcomes. Programs focus on individualization and are flexible in assessment and support; tailoring services to address the unique and changing needs of individuals, families and communities.

our methodology

The strength of TCS is our innovative, creative and flexible approach. The goal of TCS is to provide solutions to individuals, communities and CLBC. We grow the skills and abilities of our staff members to meet the requirements and challenges to better support individuals. We involve our Clinical Services Consultant to review all health related protocols and safety plans and to ensure that all necessary medical and psychiatric services are being accessed in order to promote well being and to prevent crises. Further, TCS and CBI Consultants have developed a strategic partnership to enhance the existing capacity of TCS to provide exemplary person-centered support to the individuals that we serve. This alignment of mission, values and expertise of CBI and TCS is focused on quality of life.

My daughter has lived in the Dufferin home, managed by Thompson Community Services, for 18 years. As a parent I can rely on the care provided by staff at the home, the day program and the office. They do live out their motto, to provide individualized, solution-based services.
