Respite Services

Our Respite Services are based on the needs and desires of families. Families are able to choose a Caregiver that has already been approved through our screening process, or they can refer their own Caregiver (who must also complete the necessary requirements through our screening process). Parents guide and monitor the Caregiver relationship, and are responsible for necessary training of the Caregiver with assistance from our Respite Managers. Families also choose the respite model, by scheduling respite hourly, overnight, in their home or the Caregiver’s home and in community.

Adults, children and youth with developmental disabilities have a right to live full lives in our community. Our respite service provides opportunities for individuals to grow, make friends, participate in community, learn, have fun and make choices for themselves.

We believe this helps create a more welcoming and inclusive community that can see beyond disability to ability…and that benefits us all.

CSCL’s Respitality Program provides parents of a child with a disability a chance for rest and rejuvenation in a welcoming and comfortable environment while their child receives respite care. Participating parents in this program receive a complimentary overnight stay for two in a hotel, bed-and-breakfast or resort, which may include meals.

CSCL’s Respitality Program would not be available without the support of the following community partners:
• Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa
• The Coast Chilliwack Hotel
• The Royal Hotel

For information about these services, please call CSCL’s Home Office at 604-792-7726.
