Thrive Group Support Services

Thrive Group Support Services is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to providing infrastructure and support services in the health and community care sectors. Established in 2013, Thrive Group was formed to offer a consolidated and cost-effective approach to delivering infrastructure services to various supportive housing, long-term care, and assisted living facilities.

History and Background

Founded in 2013, Thrive Group Support Services aimed to streamline the administration and operational delivery of community and healthcare support services. The organization serves over 3,000 individuals daily across 18 sites, including long-term care homes, supportive housing units, and assisted living residences. Thrive Group includes several affiliated entities, such as St. Peter’s Residence at Chedoke, Idlewyld Manor, AbleLiving Services, and Capability Support Services, which provide a range of care and support to vulnerable populations[1][4].

Services

Thrive Group offers comprehensive community-based care services primarily focused on seniors and individuals requiring complex care in non-hospital settings. Its services include:

• Long-term care and assisted living residences.
• Supportive housing to assist individuals in maintaining independent living.
• Capability Support Services, which provide non-medical aid for daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication monitoring, meal preparation, mobility assistance, and security checks. These services target older adults who require personal care assistance but can direct and participate in their own care[1][4][5].

Community Impact

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Thrive Group played a critical role in alleviating hospital pressures by facilitating the transfer of patients with complex care needs to community and long-term care homes. This effort continued the organization’s commitment to enhancing health system capacity and providing community-based alternatives to acute care[4].

Accreditation and Registration

Thrive Group Support Services is a registered charity under Canadian law with the Business Registration Number 833233430RR0001. The organization complies with Canada Revenue Agency regulations and holds charitable status to facilitate fundraising and support services delivery[4].

Locations

The organization operates multiple sites in the Ontario region, including Hamilton and surrounding areas, with specialized facilities such as Idlewyld Manor and St. Peter’s Residence supporting a range of care needs. Capability Support Services also operates programs like Shared Living in Dunnville, Ontario, providing accessible, non-medical assistance in home settings[1][2][5].

Thrive Group Support Services continues to be a vital part of the Canadian community care landscape, focusing on improving quality of life for seniors and individuals with support needs through coordinated, compassionate, and cost-effective care models.
