What are the benefits of using the Innovative Choices Program?
Choosing support workers you already know and trust






Over 20 years of experience
CPSN was created in 1995, when six parents of children with cerebral palsy formed a parent support group. They wanted to share information and connect with others who understood the issues and challenges they faced. It did not take long to discover that they were not alone in their problems. There is a limited availability of support workers and most families do not like having strangers come into their home. We know that finding trustworthy support workers can be time-consuming and at times frustrating.
With over 20 years of experience, we understand that clients want long-term relationships with their support workers. We know people want choice and control when it comes to finding support workers, so that is why we created the Innovative Choices Program. We pioneered the option to employ people you already know and trust. So, if you don’t feel like hiring a stranger, we can recruit someone from your networks or our community to work with you.
Once you have selected your support worker we take care of all the employment obligations, giving you more time to focus on what’s most important to you. We will also assist with training and managing the day to day requirements. All you need to do is choose the days, hours, and type of support you want.
We empower you to choose who you want to be part of your life and provide the support that you want, when you want it. Check out our pricing guide.
