Respite Providers

Position description:

• Respite Providers are volunteers who visit individuals or invite them to into their homes. In doing this, you offer families or caregivers a break from their regular responsibilities, a chance to re-energize and an opportunity to purse their own interests. At the same time, connecting with someone who is learning through the new experiences you provide.
• Screening, Matching and Ensuring Ongoing Success
• All potential Respite Providers undergo a screening process. Once potential Providers are screened, further involvement becomes dependent upon finding an appropriate match.
• The matching process involves exchanging information and introductions. Visits of increasing duration and frequency occur to allow ample time and opportunity to determine if the situation is right for everyone.
• Each arrangement is unique and receives flexible resources and on-going support.
• For inquiries about becoming a respite provider please contact Hailey Latimer, Respite Services Coordinator by email or call 613.546.6613 ext. 2131.
