Overnight Respite And Palliative Respite Care
In 1996, we launched one of the first charitable Overnight Respite programs in Canada. The program offers private rooms to seniors for 24-hour care when their caregivers require rest. Demand for the program has grown to the point that we now operate 365 days a year and offer rooms for palliative respite care.
Guests benefit from:
- 12 private rooms with their own washrooms
- A dedicated nursing team, committed to comfort and caring
- Recreational, social and therapeutic programs that enable guests to remain active and socialize with one another
- Specially furnished rooms such as a patio, lounge with a fireplace and state-of-the-art bathing facilities
- Assistance with personal care and daily living activities
- Personalized care plans, meals and health monitoring
Criteria for entering the program
- Guest must be Canadian Citizen or Landed Immigrant
- Guest and/or caregiver must be BC Resident for 12 months
- Guest and/or caregiver must be a resident of Vancouver, Richmond, North Shore or Coast Garibaldi
