Our Short-Stay Respite program provides a break for caregivers.

SHORT-STAY RESPITE

It's okay to need a break from your caregiving role.  This program temporarily provides care and a room at the Oakville Senior Citizens Residence while you're away.

How it works

The Short-Stay Respite program allows caregivers to take a break while someone else steps in to fulfill their responsibilities of looking after their loved one. Our Central Registry team helps you access short-stay respite care at the Oakville Senior Citizens Residence (OSCR).
