Creative Options Regina (COR)

Creative Options Regina (COR) is a for-impact, charitable organization that develops personalized support services for people experiencing disability. Rooted in the philosophy of Gentle Teaching, COR strives to strengthen the fabric of companionship and community for all those we serve within our region. Our innovative approach to care giving is grounded in the recognition and celebration of the intrinsic value of each individual. At COR, we embrace a language whereby intentional word choices represent a philosophy and practice of valuing those we support. Rather than ‘running group homes’, COR supports individuals living in their own home. Instead of ‘placing clients into programs’, COR assists individuals to discover their own talents and interests, to live according to their own values, and to strive to reach their personal goals. COR is committed to providing support to people experiencing disability whose support needs are not currently being fulfilled. At COR, Supportive Living encompasses a wide range of in-home support based on individual needs, personal lifestyle preferences, community norms and equality of citizenship, while COR’s Daytime Program is primarily community based and strives to meet the personal goals and objectives of the individuals served through utilizing local services and businesses for options and safety nets. Support provided by COR celebrates the individuality and value of each person and centers on the development of meaningful relationships within the community.
