Respite

Our respite program provides temporary rest and renewal for primary caregivers of an adult with a disability. Respite may be as short as a 24-hour period, but can also be for longer periods of time.
We match individuals with screened respite contractors who share interests and activities with persons served, and who are willing to provide short-term support.
Individuals receiving respite have opportunities to develop new relationships with other families and friends, and experience different community events and other enjoyable occasions.

Our Respite Program is accessed through Community Living BC referrals.
