Coordination
The
Huron Respite Network Coordinator will work with the caregiver to identify
respite options and develop a respite plan.
Screening
The
Huron Respite Network screens families or persons who will provide respite
in the home and in the community to best meet the needs of the person and
family.
Host
Families
The Huron Respite Network
screens families or individuals who welcome a person with special needs
into their home for regular or occasional respite. The individual
requesting respite enjoys the interaction and becomes involved in the
activities shared by members of the host family. For more information click here.
In-Home Respite Providers
The
Huron Respite Network screens individuals who will provide respite by
coming into the home of the individual or family requesting respite.
In-home respite works well for people whose needs are best met in their own
homes. For more information click here.

Community Resources
The

possibilities, options and services in the community that can also be used
as a form of respite i.e. overnight and day camps and recreational
programs, as well as encourage and promote development of respite options
through community partnerships.
Is There A Cost?
There is
a moderate cost per day. Families/people who cannot afford the fee
may be considered for a subsidy available through the Huron Respite
Network. To be eligible for respite subsidy a person must meet the
criteria of one of the available five subsidies.
Please
be advised in most circumstances these subsidies are available for 12 month
periods. Should you wish to access a subsidy again you should contact
the Respite Coordinator prior to your current service agreement ends.
Respite services are provided based on available resources and there is no
guarantee the same service or amount of service will be available on an
ongoing basis. For more information about Subsidies click here.
