Pilot project to provide enhanced respite care

A new pilot project between the province and St. Amant will provide enhanced respite care to children with disabilities.

The project will see two overnight respite homes utilized . In Winnipeg a four-bed home and in Brandon a three-bed home will be established.

“Respite care is one of the most requested services by families that are raising children with disabilities,” said Families Minister Rochelle Squires. “We want to ensure that families are protected with access to services that meet their needs including innovative respite options supported by trained and experienced workers.”

The pilot project will be evaluated at the end of two years.
