Community Access
About our service
Ability offers Community Access services from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Our person-centered services are shaped around each individual’s needs, goals, interests and abilities, supporting independence, well-being, meaningful relationships, skill development, and greater involvement in the community.
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 servicecoordinationbooking@abilityresource.ca.
