Cedarbrook Respite House

Cedarbrook Handbook

Respite care gives families temporary relief from the challenges of caring for a child or youth with a developmental disability. Cedarbrook is a space for children and youth who need the extra care and support from 1:1 staff. Children and youth can stay overnight and for up to 14 days in a month for the period of 1 year. Respite at Cedarbrook gives the family a much needed break from caring for the complex needs of their child and gives the child or youth a chance to work on life skills, developmental and behaviour goals in a staffed setting.

Cedarbrook serves children and youth with a Child and Youth with Special Needs (CYSN) designation between the ages of birth and the end of the month of their 18th birthday. MCFD will determine eligibility.
