I am a 35 year old man with Down Syndrome, and am looking for a housemate in the South East end of Scarborough, preferably the Rouge Hill neighborhood.
I currently live in my parent’s basement, but am ready to move out independently, into a new home, with a housemate. I have a full staff team and a facilitator, who help me plan my week, menus & chores, to live as independently as possible. They will be excited to meet you, and support you as well.
I love sports, going out to movies, dances and other fun activities, playing on the Wii, going to restaurants, and socializing with friends!
Ideally, my future roommate would be motivated to start living independently, enjoy socializing and able to take TTC, so we can go out together sometimes, with minimal support. He should also be able to stay home alone at times, whether before or after work/day program, and can also sleep at our new home without an overnight staff. Cooking and cleaning are chores we would share, but knowing these skills coming into our home is not necessary as they can be taught by our support team.
My new roommate’s parents need to be team players and willing to work together and communicate with both my parents and support team to make this partnership work.
All of the above is not mandatory, as I am flexible, but the motivation to be independent is very important.
