Senior's Caregivers

Three respite programs to support you

Support Respite, répit réconfort and Stimulation Respite designed to meet your needs and those of the person you're caring for, in order to preserve your balance and quality of life.

How do I get respite services?

Before starting a respite service, the caregiver must contact the local community health center (CLSC) to submit a request. They will be assessed, and if they meet certain criteria, a referral form will be sent to the organization.

Once the referral form from the CLSC is received, a staff member will contact the caregiver to proceed with opening the file.
