The first program known as Weekend With Friends, is located at 4360 Howard Avenue. Children come and stay at the home for a weekend on a regular basis. The emphasis in the program is to provide a fun, supporting environment for the children. During their stay the children take part in the community events and activities in the home. Usually 4-6 children stay in the home at one time.
Family Respite Services also provides out of home respite on weekends at a home on Spago Crescent for children with developmental and physical disabilities. Both homes are licensed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services, ensuring that there is a safe environment for the children. Similar to the Weekend with Friends program, the goal at this home is to provide care for the children in a home-like environment that is fun and nurturing.
