Respite Options

Wesway’s Family Directed Respite Funding

This program is available for eligible family caregivers who are caring for a senior who requires ongoing care. This service is available for families who live in the City of Thunder Bay and District. With Family Directed Respite Funding, families decide how they would like to receive their respite service and Wesway authorizes payment for the associated costs. A detailed contract is developed with each family in accordance with available resources and defined eligibility criteria. Within the terms and conditions of their contract, families are free to pursue their personal respite goals and priorities.   

Families may contact Wesway directly to request respite services or be referred by other community agencies. For more information or to make a referral, please call our Intake department at 1-807-625-6695 or toll free at 1-888-623-2353, Ext 6695 or by email at intake@wesway.com.
