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
• Caregiver in need of respite

The Overnight Respite program runs 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

• Guests may stay up to 30 days per year, which may be used intermittently or all at once. Limit subject to review by guest's Case Manager
• Stays can be booked up to six months in advance or on short notice
