Designated Supportive Living (DSL)
DSL simply means it is operated in partnership with the provincial health authority.
Overall, Supportive Living is a home setting for adults and seniors, offering supportive services in a private, yet congregate living setting. It is a non-institutional alternative for those who are no longer able to live in their own home, which focuses on health promotion, well-being, independence and maintaining functional abilities.
Supportive Living is considered community based, not medical facility based. Residents continue accessing their own physician services in the same manner as before moving to Pioneer House.
