“Respite” means ‘rest’ or ‘relief’. All families, especially those who care for a person with a disability, need a break from the constant demands placed on them. They need a rest to recharge their batteries, time together and for other family members. Quite often the person with the disability needs a break too. That break may be in home, emergency or as a guest of CROSB House.
CROSB endeavors to be as flexible as possible and respond to the needs of the individuals. Clients are able to receive respite for varying lengths of time throughout the year, depending on vacancies. Clients may choose to plan their respite on a regular basis, use it only occasionally or may only call upon it in an emergency.
Referrals to CROSB may be made by the person with the disability, their families/caregivers or other service providers. PRIOR registration is preferred.
