Respite Care for Seniors - South West Ontario

Respite care offers temporary, substitute living arrangements or in-home care for seniors whose caregiver needs a brief period of relief or rest.

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.

See also Friendly Visiting, Adult Day Programs, Alzheimer Disease & Related Dementias and Hospice Care for additional services.

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.
