CSCL is excited about a pilot project we are developing within our community respite program. Our philosophy/focus has always been to provide families who access our respite program with options regarding the type of respite service they prefer. To better meet the varied needs of the families we support, CSCL has identified the need for additional options. We would like to introduce to you our Respitality project. Respitality is a program which is being accessed in other communities throughout BC, and has been highly successful in Victoria. Respitality allows families of children with developmental disabilities one overnight stay per year at a local hotel or resort. A contracted caregiver would provide respite care for the families child/children in the respite program.
Family Testimonials:
“It was fantastic! Really, words could not convey enough how beautiful it was there. The staff was wonderful, the meals delicious, and the room was great. The view was indescribable and we even got to see some bald eagles! We definitely would like to go again. It was too bad we couldn't use the outdoor pool due to time of year, but maybe we can if we go during the warmer season. Thanks so much for this opportunity - we really enjoyed ourselves.”
“You can send us there anytime again. We even went in the hot springs twice and the dinner and dance were wonderful and the breakfast was superb. So when, when, can we go again. THANK YOU SO MUCH”
