About Us

Eastern Residential Services (ERS) has been licensed with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services as of February 2008, and maintains strong relationships with over 20 placing agencies across Ontario.

ERS recognizes that children's social, educational, spiritual, emotional and developmental needs require a nurturing and stable placement, with individualized treatment plans and 24/7 support.

We provide access to mental health and therapeutic services through community partners including registered psychotherapists and counsellors, and match youth with homes offering the best possible fit based on each home's unique specialties.

Our homes serve children with physical disabilities, psychiatric disorders, developmental/cognitive disorders, brain injury, and behavioural disorders.

• 24/7 emergency support from Regional Supervisors
• Monthly qualified Child & Youth Worker access
• 48 hours monthly respite services
• Special group activities and functions
• Community support access

Tom O'Brien founded ERS on the belief that every child deserves a stable, nurturing and supportive home.
