One of the homes is wheelchair accessible and has access to chair lift inside the home and a ramp outside the home. McEwan Housing and Support services offers 24/7 services directly to residents living in the home or to respites on-site. The McEwan Housing & Support Services Program follows the principles of Psychosocial Rehabilitation, which has as its goal, empowerment, for the people we support. The Respite Program offers care to members of the community that live with HIV and require support around the clock to accomplish a specific outcome. The Respites are goal-oriented, related to health and mental health recovery. Respites provide access to the high support residence at no cost to ensure housing is maintained, health improved as well as goal planning and length of stay is determined by need and space availability.

A Plan of Care is created to meet individual needs prior to moving into McEwan. The adjoining houses at 20 and 22 Dundonald Street provide 24-hour on-site support. In addition, there are Personal Support Workers on-site seven days a week for extended hours, to assist residents with cooking, cleaning, laundry, hygiene, meal preparation and attending appointments. Residents have 24-hour access to staff by phone. For overnight or weekend staff that may be responding to member calls, there is also 24-hour coverage through on-call staff support. Residents are encouraged to support one another and assume an active role in the management of their home. When residents are not able to work out interpersonal issues between themselves, they are encouraged by staff to utilize house meetings, individual support sessions or conflict mediation.
