Specialized Respite Support

SRS provides family members or guardians with children or youth who have exceptional social, emotional and behavioural needs with opportunities to plan periodic breaks from caregiving.

Respite Support can occur in a variety of ways. Families may:

  • Engage in the services of a respite support person who will take over the care giving responsibilities.
  • Choose to use family-based or host families who provide care to the child or youth with specialized needs in their own home.
  • Consider using centre-based respite which is provided in a residence with trained, paid staff.


Who is eligible to use this service?

Community Living Wallaceburg will receive referrals from a number of community partners, health or social service professionals, KIDS Team, Chatham Integrated Children’s Services, or school based personnel. Eligibility will be determined by Community Living Wallaceburg as per MCSS guidelines.  Based on the needs of the family and their preferences, a respite plan will be developed by the referring agent. Upon approval and based on available resources, a subsidy amount is determined.

How does it work?

Payment for the respite supports will be made by Community Living Wallaceburg.  Arrangements for payment will be dependent upon the respite plan. Families are able to pool their respite allocation with other funding they may receive (SSAH, ACSD). Community Living Wallaceburg can assist families when requested to co-ordinate this effort to their fullest advantage.
