Building a Community of Belonging

Community Development Services

At Right-Choice Healthcare Services (RCHS) Inc., we believe that true wellness is found through connection. Our Community Development Services are designed to break down the barriers of isolation and foster a deep sense of belonging for adults with developmental disabilities. We don't just provide a residence; we build a bridge between our clients and the vibrant Ottawa community.

Civic Engagement & Volunteering

We support our clients in finding volunteer opportunities that match their interests. Contributing to local food banks, animal shelters, or community centers helps our clients develop a sense of purpose and "social capital."

Relationship & Network Building

We provide guided support to help clients build and maintain "natural" support networks—friendships and acquaintances outside of paid staff. This includes social modeling and assistance in navigating new social environments.
