The Perley Rideau Respite Program offers short-stay residential services to seniors who otherwise live at home and are cared for by family. The program is directed to family caregivers as well, providing relief from their caregiving responsibilities.
Day Program
The Perley Rideau Day Program - jointly operated with the Victorian Order of Nurses - is open to seniors with various forms of dementia, often referred to as Alzheimer Disease. Clients come to the program from their own homes to enjoy a day of stress-free socialization and fun, while family caregivers have a few hours off.
