Respite Home Service

Wesway has three Respite Home Locations: 90A Jean Street,

90B Jean Street and 185 S. Court Street

In the City of Thunder Bay, Wesway has three Respite Homes where participants may stay when family caregivers need a bit of a longer break. All three locations offer a comfortable home like environment where the needs of participants are met by Wesway's trained Respite Workers. Our Respite Homes can support small groups of participants at a given time. Each home is designed to cater to the needs of the population it serves. In addition to being fully accessible, there are recreation and entertainment options in the home, as well as opportunities to go on social outings with the Respite Home staff.

At our Respite Homes, respite services usually last 48 hours and predominantly take place during a weekend, with periodic opportunities during the week. One of these homes is tailored to children; one to adults and one to seniors.

"My mother loves the Respite Home as she often stays with some of the same people each time. She has developed friendships with several of them."
