Children's Respite Programs

Regular Respite Program

In our Regular Overnight program youngsters can stay with us for a few days and nights at a time. This is our most widely accessed program which can accommodate 8 children per night.

Regular Planned Relief Program

The Regular Planned Relief program is a sub-program of our regular respite program and has the same four children coming to the Home every seven weeks during the school year. The children usually arrive on Sunday evening and are discharged to school and then home on the following Friday. Families know the dates of relief periods from the beginning of the school year. Twenty-four children are presently involved in this program.

Program Admission

Children ages 0-21 who have a physical disability that limits mobility, and live at home with their parents are eligible to use our programs. Families must also reside in Eastern Ontario.

How to Apply

We invite parents and children to visit the home, meet the staff, and have a look around. To access the various programs parents must complete the required admission forms. Admission packages may be obtained from the Home or through your social worker.

Cost

There is a nominal fee of $10.00 per day charged to parents for using the service.
