Grewal Place Community Living

A home where I’m known, supported and free to grow.

Grewal Place is a community living home in Nanaimo, BC, for adults and youth with developmental disabilities.

Everyday support, in a real home, in the heart of Nanaimo.

We provide 24-hour residential support in a warm, family-style home. Each person has their own room, their own routines and a say in how their day goes.

Our staff help with the everyday things: cooking, getting to appointments, building friendships, and finding work or volunteer roles. The goal is for the people we support to do more for themselves, at their own pace.

Every person has a personal support plan built with them and the people who matter to them. We review it together, celebrate progress, and change it when their goals change.
