OVERNIGHT RESPITE CENTRE

In 2000, 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.

Picture
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
The Overnight Respite program runs 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Please call (604) 327-9525 for more information.
"When my mother was leaving after her last stay, everyone treated her like an old friend. Mom replied, 'See you next month!' and proceeded to excitedly tell me about her stay. I could go on and on about all the pluses at the Centre and what a difference it has made to our lives. Without your help, I would not be able to keep Mom at home and fulfill her wishes."
