About Dale Brain Injury Services
Our History
In 1980 the members of the Church at Westmount (now the AGAPE Foundation) saw the need for community based services for adults living with the effects of an acquired brain injury. Funding was secured from the Ontario Government and the site was provided by the members of the Church at Westmount. The result of their concern and hard work was the establishment of a transitional living centre called The Dale Home in 1984, one of the first such programs in the province.
From its grass roots inception Dale Services was a leader in innovative approaches to service delivery. By 1990, the services provided by The Dale Home outgrew the location. We had rearticulated our model of service delivery to build in clinical accountability, comprehensive rehabilitation services and a more normalized approach. Through a major donation by the AGAPE Foundation we are able to design and build The Dale Centre. Operating funding from the Ministry of Health enabled us to continue to enhance and expand services. Accordingly, the Dale Home was transformed to Dale Head Injury Services. By 1996 developments in the field of acquired brain injury and current terminology led to a decision to change our name to Dale Brain Injury Services.
We have progressed through many changes since those early days and we are committed to growth and evolution in the future. What has remained constant and will not change is our commitment to our Participants and our role in helping them to build their futures.
