WHO WE ARE

Highland Community Residential Services (HCRS) supports community inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities or mental health issues. HCRS is a non-profit organization that is governed by a volunteer board of directors.  We  support people living in a variety of arrangements located in Trenton, New Glasgow, Stellarton, Westville and Pictou County.  We value an individualized approach to developing supports and community living options. HCRS was established in 1977 with one group home and nine people. Today,  we support more than 70 people living in several homes and apartments.

HCRS is able to support people dealing with an intellectual disability through its partnership with the Province of Nova Scotia Department of Community Services.

In addition to residential supports, HCRS promotes sustainable social supports for children and families dealing with an intellectual disability. These programs are made possible through our partnership with the United Way of Pictou County.

HCRS, through its Northern Region Respite Service, helps families plan relief care for children who have an intellectual disability. It coordinates respite services to communities from Amherst to Canso. Respite services are also made possible through funding from Department of Community Services.
