The Respite Apartment is available to any senior living in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network who requires a convalescent period after a hospital stay, or whose caregiver may require a break from care-giving responsibilities or wish to go on a vacation. Any senior applying for Respite Apartment Services will be assessed by the Supervisor at J.W. MacIntosh Community Support Services to ensure they meet eligibility criteria and that the service can meet their individual needs. Any senior admitted to the Respite Apartment Services should be able to direct their own care, respond appropriately to any emergency situation, and transfer with minimal assistance. We encourage people to book well in advance if specific dates for admission are requested.
