Respite Care for People with Disabilities - South West Ontario
Respite care offers temporary, substitute living arrangements or special care in the home for adults and children with disabilities in order to provide a brief period of relief or rest (usually more than twenty-four hours) for the family members, guardians or other people who are their regular caregivers.
See
In-Home Nursing
and
In-Home Personal Support
for programs that offer the services of substitute caregivers who provide respite care in the individual's own home.
Short-stay programs are offered by some
Long-Term Care Homes
for adults living in the community with long-term care needs and/or who require care when recovering or stabilizing. Admission to these short-stay programs is through
Community Care Access Centres
. A few long-term care homes and some
retirement homes
offer private short-stay respite care. Apply directly to the residential home.
