The Association recognizes the need for expanded services in the traditional family support network. These services are available only periodically for relief purposes or when needed rather than on a continuous basis.

Outreach Respite

This program provides substitute care giving which will enable families and/or the primary care giver periods of time away from the individual in order that they may rest, attend to personal needs, take holidays or participate in outside activities.

Supportive Housing Respite

The Association also offers Supportive Housing Respite Services to individuals for a specific period of time. Accommodations are available, with or without attendant care, to individuals who are physically disabled and/or who are from out of town and need barrier free accommodation. This service is offered in a congregate living unit setting located in Barrie. There is no charge for this service, however a meal fee of $15.00/day is charged if you choose to have your meals there.
