I like Club because of my friends being around, I like playing pool and air hockey. Club Unity is getting along with friends.
I like that I have quiet space. I see new people and sometimes old friends from school. People are respectful when I need quiet space. I like the evening activities, movies and Karaoke are my favourites.
Going in the community is fun because I like being out and about. I get be with friends and have fun with them like when we go to places like the Escape Room.

" Working at Community Living Quinte West has been such a positive experience. It’s a place where you truly feel supported, not just as staff, but as a person.
What stands out most is how understanding and supportive management is. They don’t judge you or make things harder when you’re going through a tough time—they work with you, listen, and genuinely try to help.
I’ve experienced that support firsthand. I went through a difficult time, and instead of being judged, they stood by me. They knew the kind of staff I am and helped me get back to being my best. That kind of support means everything.
There’s a strong focus on honesty, respect, and growth, and it shows in how both staff and the people we support are treated. It’s truly an amazing place to work, and you never feel like you’re on your own."
"Some careers change your résumé. Others change your heart.
