About OHS

 

Founded just two years ago by a visionary Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Optimum Healthcare Services (OHS) is rapidly emerging as a beacon of compassionate care and innovation in the field of mental health services. The journey of OHS reflects a commitment to bridging the gap between institutionalized care and community-based support for individuals with mental health needs. ​ In the midst of a shifting landscape within the healthcare industry towards more holistic and community-oriented care, OHS was born out of a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of personalized, community-based support for individuals facing mental health challenges. Recognizing the limitations and often impersonal nature of traditional institutional settings, the founder, whose experience in psychiatric nursing provided a profound insight into the needs of vulnerable populations, embarked on a mission to create a more nurturing and empowering environment for those in need. ​ The inception of OHS marked a departure from conventional approaches to mental health care, as it sought to establish a network of group homes designed to foster independence, dignity, and emotional well-being among residents. By offering a supportive and home-like environment, coupled with comprehensive mental health services delivered by a multidisciplinary team of professionals, OHS aimed to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives within their communities. From its humble beginnings, OHS has experienced remarkable growth and acclaim within the mental health care sector. Through a combination of innovative programming, and a steadfast commitment to individualized care, OHS has garnered recognition for its exceptional outcomes and positive impact on the lives of those it serves. ​ Central to the success of OHS has been its emphasis on collaboration and community engagement. By forging partnerships with local healthcare providers, advocacy organizations, and community stakeholders, OHS has been able to leverage resources and expertise to better meet the diverse needs of its residents. ​ Looking ahead, OHS remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in mental health care, continually striving to innovate and adapt to the evolving needs of its community. With a foundation built on compassion, expertise, and a steadfast commitment to empowering individuals to live their best lives, OHS stands as a shining example of the transformative potential of community-based mental health services.

A more integrated and involved lifestyle

The supported living program assists a member to reside in settings of their choice and to be even more integrated and involved with the community where they have chosen to live, work and socialize. For some individuals, this means an opportunity to remain living in their own family homes. For others, these services could aid them in their pursuit of an even greater independent participation in the community where they have decided to make their home in a rental or even self-owned property
