Established more than 40 years ago, Bellwoods Centres is a community-based not-for-profit organization that is committed to (a) enabling adults with physical disabilities to live as independently as possible and direct their own services, and (b) providing individualized services and programs in a range of living environments in Toronto.

Bellwoods Centres offers non-medical support services, accomodation, and independent living education to persons 16 years of age and older, with permanent physical disabilities, who live in Toronto, require assistance with some or all activities of daily living, and are able to direct their own services.  Clients are permanent residents of Ontario who have a valid health insurance card.  There is no fee for service as funding is provided by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Outreach Services are available on a pre-scheduled visitation basis, throughout the City of Toronto between the hours of 6:00 am and 12 midnight, including:  personal grooming and hygiene, dressing / undressing, assistance with eating, toileting, and tracheostomy care (where the needs of the person are stable).  The Mobile Independent Living Education (MILE) program provides clients with options for learning.  Staff meet with clients to develop a program with goals and target dates.  MILE is "mobile" because staff travel to meet with clients in their homes or in other places in the community (as long as they reside in Toronto).
