Living rooms are also provided for a better quality of life and the organization of many recreational activities.  Goal The goal of this facility is to provide respite care on weekends to carers of developmentally disabled persons.  Definition of specialized respite care for weekends 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.  Clientele The people concerned belong to two age groups.  Each weekend is for one age group at a time.  Children  0-17 of age Adults 18 years of age or more How to apply for the specialized respite for weekends? 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.

We ask that parents provide the cheque at the latest on the Sunday evening when they come to pick up their child. The Fondation IntégrACTION du Québec reserves the right to require a designated accompanying adult when a user is in need of a significant level of service. Additional costs can then be charged. Reservation and Cancellation Procedures As you already know, the goal of the specialized respite for the weekend is to provide rest to parents and other carers of a person with a cognitive disability or a disruptive development disorder.  The demand for respite services is growing each year and the maximum number of places available for weekends is fifteen (15). When signing up for the first time to our specialized weekend respite services, application processing fees of $25 are charged (the fees are charged only once). 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.  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. 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 confirm us the desired weekends.  It is important for the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Centre that families honor their reservations. Parents are asked to sign this form and return it to us as soon as possible.  Reservation All weekend respite reservations must be made via the Reservation form. Please honor reservations. Any cancellation must be filed at least one week in advance. It is essential that the parent call to plan the respite weekend.  Download the personnel file in the Excel format Opening hours The respite service schedule:   Friday 4 p.m. to Sunday  at 7 p.m.  Tel.: 450 624-0980 E-mail: cmjc@integraction.org The specialized respite care for weekends facility is open from Friday 4 p.m. to Sunday 7 p.m.  In case of lateness, the Center must be advised as soon as possible.
