Respite care provides temporary relief for primary caregivers, allowing you to take a well-deserved break from the responsibilities of caring for a sick, elderly, or disabled family member. It can be provided in your own home, at day care centres, or in residential or nursing facilities offering overnight stays.

Whether you need support for a few hours a week or a longer break, respite care can help reduce stress, restore energy, and maintain balance in your life. It also benefits the person receiving care by providing variety, stimulation, and a refreshing change of routine.

Respite care services include, but are not limited to:

• Personal care
• Moving and transfers
• Meal preparation and serving
• Medication management
• Cleaning and housekeeping
• Shopping
• Assistance with appointments and outreach services
