Who is Eligible for Respite Services

Wesway serves families within the City and District of Thunder Bay. Eligible families are responsible for the ongoing care of a family member who lives with them.

The family member must have a disability or chronic health condition such as a developmental disability, autism spectrum disorder, a physical disability, a frail condition related to aging, Alzheimer Disease or a related dementia.

Specific eligibility is determined by criteria relating to the age, diagnosis and locale of each individual. For more detailed information about service eligibility, please contact Wesway.

 

Families may contact us directly to request respite services or be referred by other community agencies. For more information or to make a referral, please contact Leigh Abthorpe at 625-6695 or e-mail .

"I would say that the most enjoyable part of my work with Wesway is getting to know people. I enjoy meeting new people, building relationships, and learning new skills."
