ILS - Adult Respite

Adult Respite is a service that provides parents or primary family caregivers the opportunity for rest and renewal to maintain their resilience and relationships outside of their caregiving role. Our respite service provides opportunities for individuals to grow, make friends, participate in community, and make choices for themselves. Referrals to the Adult Respite Service are managed by Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) who also determine the amount of respite an individual and their family will receive each year. Once a referral has been received, the ILS Respite team will collaborate with a family to match them with a contracted Respite Provider. Families are able to choose whether they would like their respite to be delivered hourly, overnight or a combination of both. Respite can be delivered in the community (hourly) or at either the family or Respite Providers home for overnight stays. The family participates in providing training, developing support strategies for medication administration, the use and maintenance of adaptive equipment and other special requirements to ensure that the continuity and quality of care for their family member is maintained. Once a match is located that meets with the approval of the individual and their family, you are encouraged to connect with the Provider(s) independently to arrange a respite schedule that works for you. Successful Respite Providers must complete a rigorous screening process that includes a home study (if respite will be delivered in the Providers home), a good driving record, first aid certification, reference verification and criminal records clearance.
