Wesway

Wesway provides respite services to families. Wesway offers short-term care which gives family caregivers some time to renew their energy.

Respite is a break from the ongoing demands of providing care for a family member who has a disability or chronic health condition. Respite care is a crucial part of the overall support many people need when caring for a family member at home. Wesway strives for flexibility in accommodating the strengths, needs and preferences of each family we serve. Care can take place in the family’s own home,

the home of a volunteer or in one of our Respite Homes. Respite may also include support for individuals to participate more fully in the life of the community.

Do you know what a Host Family Volunteer is?

Host Family Volunteers can be individuals, couples, or people of any household type who want to make a meaningful difference. As a host family volunteer, you welcome a person with a disability into your home for a short stay and include them in your everyday activities.

It’s a simple but impactful way to support inclusion, build connections, and create a sense of belonging - just by sharing your time and space.
