Respite & overnight care
Respite and overnight care that gives families planned, reliable breaks

Dependable coverage - planned around your schedule
B
Overnight Coverage
Professional nighttime presence ensuring the individual is safe, comfortable, and cared for - allowing family to sleep without worry.
C
Weekend Respite

D
Personal Care During Respite
The respite caregiver provides the same personal care - hygiene, meals, mobility support - that the individual receives every other day.
E
Routine Maintenance
Routines are followed exactly as established - mealtimes, medications reminders, personal care schedule - with no disruption.
F
Family Communication
Clear updates before and after every respite shift - so family caregivers know exactly how their loved one was during their time away.
For family caregivers
Caregiver burnout is a health crisis - respite is the prevention
Family caregivers in Ontario provide an estimated 80% of all home-based care, often with limited support and no scheduled breaks. Burnout is not a personal failing - it is a predictable outcome of unlimited caregiving without relief.
Regular, scheduled respite is not a luxury - it is what makes long-term home care sustainable. Aviora's respite model is built to be planned in advance, reliably delivered by a familiar caregiver, and communicated clearly so families can genuinely rest rather than worry.
Getting started
Set up respite that you can actually rely on
1. Free Consultation
We discuss the individual's care needs, the family's schedule, and what respite frequency and duration will provide genuine relief.
2. Caregiver Briefed
The assigned caregiver learns the individual's routines, preferences, and care plan before the first respite visit.
3. Scheduled & Recurring
Respite is placed on a fixed schedule so family caregivers can plan weeks ahead with confidence.
No referral needed. Available across Ontario - cities, towns, and rural communities.
