Respite care : one solution

Respite care

Adults can check in their aging parents for anywhere from three days to several months at the Griffith McConnell Residence for seniors in Cote St. Luc.

Accomodation costs between $57 and $150 a day inclusive of care

The short-term stay program there fills a much-needed niche in services to caregivers and care recipients, said Elizabeth Ball, a social worker at Centre de sante et de services sociaux Cavendish (CSSS Cavendish), which was formerly CLSC Rene Cassin and serves Cote St. Luc, N.D.G. and Montreal West.
