COMMUNITY LIVING RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES Barriere House Barriere House is a home for adults with developmental disabilities who require an increased level of personal care. It is a licensed facility for six residents and one respite bed. The respite bed is used on a regular basis and all individuals using the bed are approved through our funder, Community Living British Columbia. An important aspect of Barriere House is that the residents are able to age in place and transition through the death and dying process in their own home if medically able.
