Respite Care program
If you are a caregiver for someone with a health condition, disability or care needs associated with aging, you can take a break, with the help of Respite Care coordinated through a local LHIN office. As a caregiver, you need a break from time to time. We can help you by providing relief caregiving while you’re away. This is called respite care. The person you care for can receive care: at home, during a short stay at a long-term care home, or at an adult day program.

Respite Services
respiteservices.com connects agencies funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. Their aim is to collaborate and develop a more dynamic respite network for both children and adults in Toronto. Respite care provides a short planned break from the physical and emotional demands involved in caring for a family member who has a disability. Respite creates greater opportunities for all family members to live actively and participate in community activities and allows parents/guardians time for themselves.
