Context
Given the growing needs for respite care, the IFQ has decided to meet the priority needs of many families with
a developmentally disabled
child, young or adult.
At the Marcelle and Jean Coutu
Center, the residential care facility offers nine adpated placements. All the space is now entirely
accessible for handicapped persons. Living rooms are also provided for a
better quality of life and the organization of many recreational activities.
Unlike our other facilities, the Quatre–Temps respite home is
exclusively for developmentally disabled persons.
Goal
The goal of this facility is to provide respite care on weekends to carers
of developmentally disabled
persons.
This
multifunctional center also allows autistic children to enjoy temporary
residential services on weekends, along with an accompanying adult (alternating
residential service autism-children).
Definition
of specialized respite care
By definition, specialized respite care is temporary and short term
residential services for a person living with a cognitive disability and
having complex needs that require a specific specialized support.
How
to Access the Quatre-Temps Respite Facility ?
Users of this service usually reside in Laval in their
natural families and must register at the CRDI Normand-Laramée via the
determined access procedure. They must contact a social worker of their CLSC or their educator at the CRDI Normand-Laramée.
This model is also offered to non-Laval residents, in family-type facilities or
intermediate homes, if placement opportunities are available.

Reservation
and Cancellation Procedures
As
you already know, the goal of the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Center is to provide rest to parents and other
carers of a person with a cognitive disability.
The demand for respite services is growing each year and the number of places
available for weekends is always nine, i.e. quite limited. The IntegrACTION
Foundation of Quebec wishes to help as many families as possible by
providing an opportunity to all families to access at
least a few placements during a quarter.
As of January 2004, the parents of children (0-17 years of age) may choose
four (4) weekends of respite on an offer of eight (8). It is important for us to
take into account the needs of all Laval families. If placements are still available
after the registration period, families may obtain a fifth weekend.
For some time now, some families cancel at the last minute their reservations. The CMJC ends up with placements that remain unclaimed and it is
inconvenient for another family to learn one day in advance that a respite placement
is available. We ask the families to complete a reservation form for specific
weekends. It is important for the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Centre that
families honor their reservations. The IntegrACTION Foundation of Quebec
informs families (parents of adults or children) that they have till the previous
Wednesday of the respite to cancel a weekend. If the weekend is cancelled after
this date, families concerned will be charged $50 .
Parents are asked to sign this form and return it to us as soon as possible.
