CHIRS - Community Head Injury Resource Services

CHIRS - Community Head Injury Resource Services CHIRS, formerly known as Ashby House, started in 1978 as the first community-based brain injury rehabilitation program in North America.

Community Head Injury Resource Services of Toronto (CHIRS) is a registered not-for-profit charitable organization primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and the Ontario Health Team - Toronto. From its origins as a transitional group home, CHIRS has evolved into a multi-service agency that provides a broad range of supports to a clientele with diverse and complex needs. CHIRS' services

are designed to form the basis of a comprehensive model of service delivery. Residential services offer supported living opportunities that range from 24-hour supervision to supported independent living. Ashby Community Support Services (ACSS) provides support to those individuals who are able to live more independently or are being supported by family in the community, as well as assisting individuals in institutions to access purposeful community activities. Through CHIRS Adult Day Services, which is comprised of an adult day program (CHIRS Club) and community programs, CHIRS is able to provide productive and meaningful activities for all participants. Our food hamper program provides much needed food on a weekly basis to many of our clients.
