Community Access
About our service
Offering daytime services from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, Ability supports adults with disabilities to achieve their goals in independence, well-being and community. This provides increased community involvement, relationship-building and skill development. Overseen by the Services Director and Team Leads, Community Access services are split into five different groups: Nikes, Spice, Pathfinders, Mosaic and Life.
Individuals in these services are primarily funded through Disability Services – PDD (Persons with Developmental Disabilities) a department within the Government of Alberta.
To determine if you are eligible for these government-funded services, please contact Lethbridge Disability Services. They will conduct an assessment and explain the process to access services. Call 403-381-5777 or visit https://www.alberta.ca/supports-for-people-with-disabilities.aspx
If you are interested in booking a tour, contact our Service Coordination team at 403-329-3911 or email heather@abilityresource.ca,
