RESPITE CARE
What is Respite?
Simply, respite is a short break. Our respite care program provides relief to families and guardians who provide 24/7 care to their disabled or medically complex child at home.
Respite visits can last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks, giving families time to travel, focus on other relationships, or just get caught up with daily errands.
While in our care, all children are given the opportunity to take part in recreational and leisure activities, including: our summer swim program, music therapy, Snoezelen multi-sensory exploration, crafts, readings, and field trips to local museums and sporting events.
All of our activities are designed to help stimulate the senses to improve mobility, alertness, concentration, communication skills and mental relaxation.

RESIDENTIAL CARE
Welcome Home.
At Safehaven, our supported group living (residential) program provides round-the-clock care, 365 days a year to children and youth with developmental disabilities and medically complex care needs, such as cerebral palsy, down syndrome, muscular dystrophy and more.
Children are supported in community-based residences with trained and motivated staff and receive care that is tailored and unique to their specific medical, physical, emotional, and social needs. As part of our independent, community living model, most children attend school during the day, and all children take part in recreation and leisure activities.
Safehaven designates one staff for every two residents and works closely with each family to establish routines and an understanding of your child’s needs.

TRANSITIONAL CARE
Transitional Care for Medically Complex Children Program
In 2022, we launched our new Transitional Care for Medically Complex Children (TCMCC) program in partnership with Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. This program facilitates the transition of children from prolonged hospital stays to home and community life, alleviating hospital burdens and helping families prepare for this major life change.
With the stresses of hospital stays and facing the unknown of what comes next, Safehaven bridges that gap and provides two necessary things for families – opportunity and time. Safehaven’s care team works together with each family to determine what their next steps are, while their child is in a safe, home-like environment.
Children in this program can stay with us for up to four months, providing the time needed to develop a plan.
