Respite care is a temporary relief from the active task of caring for a family member and allows time for the family to ease the physical and emotional demands involved in caring for a loved one.
Meet with a Respite Access Facilitator to identify your respite needs, make a plan, and find the resources that are right for you.
Connect with DS Access at 905-953-8354 or email [email protected] to see if you are eligible.
Register with Respite Now, a free app that connects people looking for respite with local workers who match their needs.
You can choose a worker based on their skills, experience, and availability, then pay them directly. It’s a chance for people to learn and socialize while giving caregivers a break. Services are flexible and inclusive.
Use it online at Respite-now.com or download the mobile app from the website.
For more information or support with Respite Now, contact Natalia Annenkova, Respite Access Facilitator at 905-898-6455 ext. 2265 or email [email protected]
