Address :	1173 Bloor St. W., Toronto, ON M6H 1M9
Community Regions :	Central, South-East and South-West
General Information :	Safehaven offers respite to children with complex medical needs in the Central East Region. This includes York, Simcoe, Durham, East Gwillimbury, Kawartha, Peterborough and surrounding areas. Many children accessing the weekday and weekend respite program at our Aurora and Woodbridge locations are unable to attend school while at respite, due to being too far from their own school, we offer to replicate the child's Individual Education Plan and incorporate this with a fun filled stay. We offer a variety of community outings and indoor activities such as music therapy, arts and crafts, games and exploring the world through sensory play and story telling. We celebrate all faiths and cultures at Safehaven and there is always a party or significant event being celebrated across one of our five locations and all of the children visiting with us are welcome to attend. We value suggestions for future development from all of our teams and the families that we work with. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to explore out of home respite care in your community for your child.
