RESPITE STAYS
Caregivers experience tremendous levels of stress and need a break. For example, if you have been taking care of your husband who has Parkinsons at home for the last two years and you want to take a vacation or just need to recharge your batteries, Maimonides offers short-term relief. Six private rooms at the Centre are designated for respite care for 2-4 week stays at a government regulated cost of 8$ per day. Caregivers are entitled to 8 weeks of respite a year. It is important to note that this time may be booked in advance, for instance, to attend an out of town wedding or bar mitzvah.
Access to this program is made through the local CLSC.
