Care Pathways for Older Adults

Care Pathways is a partnership with Lambton Public Health and multiple other services in Sarnia-Lambton. Through Care Pathways, we provide a one-call phone triage to refer older adults to the services they may require to support them.

To refer yourself, a client, a loved one, or someone you may know contact the Care Pathway by phone at 1‐888‐347‐8737 or by clicking the button below.

Advocacy, Planning & Support Worker (APSW)

The Advocacy, Planning and Support Worker Program is for anyone 18+ with a developmental disability who is living independently or moving towards independent living in the community. It has also recently expanded to include older adults referred through the Care Pathways Program. APSWs provide a wide range of services to support the success of folks living or wishing to live independently.

Note: This program is not intended for those receiving in-home support services.

Referrals for this program are made through Developmental Services Ontario, the Sarnia-Lambton Children’s Aid Society and the Care Pathways referral (see above).

Children’s Mental Health

STARRting Point

Our STARRting Point service is an access mechanism for intensive mental health services in and out of Lambton County. STARRting Point serves youth who are involved in local mental health services and may already have a case manager with another agency.

STARRting Point provides information and referrals for intensive children’s mental health services, including live-in treatment placements both in and out of Lambton County.

STARRting Point can also support transitional-age youth with developmental disabilities as they transition to adult development services prior to their qualification for the APSW program.
