PARTNERS IN
INDEPENDENT LIVING
“Individually, we are one drop.
Together, we are an ocean.”
Welcome to the Nucleus Independent Living 2013-2016 Strategic Plan.
We continue to believe that our consumers come first. We have a deep commitment
to ensure our consumers have the services they need to live full, meaningful and
independent lives in their own homes. The quality of our care and services is front of
mind. We work within a quality improvement framework in all aspects of our
organization. We know we play a valued role in our integrated health system. Our
ability to attract and retain great people together with our solid partnerships
enables us to deliver services that meet the needs of the communities we serve.
As we face the next critical steps in Ontario’s health system transformation, our
highly motivated team, stewarded by a deeply committed Board of Directors will be
charged with finding and participating in new and innovative ways of collaborating
with our consumers, their families, other service and community partners to deliver
quality, consumer focused service delivery together.
In setting this strategic plan Nucleus’ Board of Directors consulted with our internal
and external stakeholders. They generously offered their input and perspectives
which have significantly influenced the directions and priorities set forth in this plan.
We thank everyone for their candid and valuable contribution and look forward to
working with you to realize our possibilities.

OUR
CORE COMMITMENTS
As part of developing our 2013-2016
Strategic Plan we asked our stakeholders to
review our vision and mission statements.
Feedback indicated that they were accurate,
but should be refreshed to include enablers
which will provide us with the leverage to
achieve our overarching vision and fulfil our
mission.
With guidance from our stakeholders’ input
we have refreshed our core commitments.
We believe that our Mission, Vision and
Values will move us forward, keep us focused
and enable us to achieve our planned goals.
Together, our commitments inspire us to
contribute in a meaningful way, with purpose
and focus and will act as our ultimate
measures of success.

In our 2013-2016 Strategic Plan we have considered
deeply our role as a system leader. Our
understanding and awareness of systems thinking
and the responsibilities of working within our health
system is exciting.
We realized that working in these times requires
nimbleness, flexibility, fluidity and adaptability.
Collectively with input from our stakeholders we
identified a set of lenses that we must apply to each

We will actively seek to increase our understanding
of systems thinking and leadership and apply it in
our work with others in our collective system.

In our 2013-2016 Strategic Plan we have adopted a
“balanced scorecard” framework to ensure that our
priorities work in harmony to achieve our mission and
vision. Our priorities build on the strengths of our
achievements and challenge us to reach new heights. All
of our priorities focus on supporting and advancing the
accessibility and quality of our services to our clients.
Each of our priorities has been set by analyzing our
consumers' needs, utilizing the identified lenses and by
considering the many shifts that are currently underway in
our health care system. This information, along with the
input received from our stakeholders gives us confidence
that when executed, our plan will enable Nucleus
Independent Living to contribute to the transformation of
the way service is delivered in our community.
Despite uncertainties in the healthcare environment, we
will set and actively pursue long-term goals that enhance
our role and value in the evolving health care system.

OUR
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
 Collaborative system leadership to
influence change
Goals
 Optimize organizational resources to improve health
system performance
The Mississauga Halton LHIN has a growing pool of
talented care and community partners.
The reality of organizational partnerships and
collaborations is one of the newer trends faced by the
Community Support Services sector. Nucleus is aware
that this trend is likely to continue and will explore
opportunities to collaborate with our other
community partners to review core programs and
back office supports as a means to identify
opportunities to make services more efficient,
accessible and cost effective.

OUR
STRATEGIC
PRIORITIES
FINANCIAL
COMMITMENTS
 Accountability and transparency in
use of resources
Goals
 Ensure financial sustainability
Global economic conditions have put increased
pressure on governments and their service delivery
agents throughout the health system. These conditions
are likely to continue into the foreseeable future and
will require Nucleus Independent Living to continually
monitor and reconcile the tension between increasing
demand and limited resources. We will continue to
work closely with our funders, the Mississauga Halton
LHIN and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care
and other funding partners to find the most reasonable,
innovative and sustainable solutions.
Nucleus will continue to explore and develop new and
more effective service delivery models to add value to
the service continuum.
 Commit to rigorous internal controls
 Leverage resources to maximize service capacity
OUR
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
 Inspiring service design through
adaptive thinking
Goals
 Apply creative approaches to address service gaps and
barriers
Accessible, quality consumer-focused service is and will
remain Nucleus Independent Living’s primary focus.
Our consumers expect to have reasonable access to the
service they need, when they need it. They also expect
that the service will be delivered by professional, skilled
and compassionate people. Our organization’s goal is
to assemble the right skills to deliver services to our
consumers. As the needs of our community evolve we
will pay close attention so that together with our other
community partners, we can continue to provide access
to the comprehensive services that our consumers
need.

Nucleus Independent Living is able to
deliver the variety of quality of service for

service we deliver to our consumers.
OUR
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
 Leveraging technology to
elevate our performance
Balancing resource efficiency, effectiveness, safety,
quality, consumer satisfaction and stakeholder
accountability is a delicate act. Nucleus
Independent Living will continually seek out ways to
use technology and evidence-informed practices to
enhance accessibility and service delivery. New
technology has heightened the need for us to be
aware of how to apply these to effect system and
process improvements. As demand for services
increases and surpasses our own capacity we will
look to new ways and partnerships to ensure those
needs can be met in the community. Along the way
we will ensure that we track and report the
indicators and outcomes which illustrate the impact
of the quality and depth of our service delivery to
our consumers. This will attract funding and
resources for future growth and enrich our quality
capacity.
Goals
 Establish integrated processes to support
technological advancement
 Strategically invest in new and evolving
technology to advance consumer services

Good Governance
“We can’t keep spending our health dollars the way we used to. If we
don’t change, we simply won’t be able to guarantee sustainable
universal public health care for ourselves, our children and our
grandchildren. That’s why our Action Plan will get better value for
our health dollars and put patients first.”
