Caregiver Support/Respite Services

 

These services are designed to provide relief to family and friends in care giving roles. 

In Home Respite services provided by Personal Support Workers can include attendant or personal care, light housekeeping and meal preparation to provide caregivers with a break. Hourly rates apply. 

The six-bed Respite Care Unit in Fenelon Falls is currently closed as agency staff evaluate the program and develop plans for moving forward in the future. The unit has the potential to provide clients with safe, friendly and professional care in a home-like setting 24 hours a day. A per diem rate applies which includes meals and laundry. 

For more information on In Home Respite and the Respite Care Unit please contact Michal Wallen, Program Manager, Supportive Housing at mwallen@community-care.on.ca or 324-7323 x 240   

Caregiver Support Groups are held monthly at locations in Fenelon Falls and Lindsay providing information and support to caregivers at a nominal fee. 

For information on Caregiver Support Groups please contact Rosanne Moloney, Local Program Manager at rmoloney@community-care.on.ca or 324-7323 x 227.
