Family caregivers across Delta often reach the point of needing a break before they reach the point of asking. Salve provides scheduled respite (a few hours, a weekend, longer if needed) across Tsawwassen and Beach Grove, Ladner and Ladner Village, North Delta and Sunshine Hills, with caregivers your loved one already trusts.

Who it's for
Family caregivers who've been at this long enough to know they need a break. The first call is the hardest; it gets easier.
Hours and schedule
Anywhere from four hours to a full week. We cover days, evenings, overnights, and around-the-clock multi-shift coverage when the situation needs it.
§
Relief, scheduled like it matters.
Delta's family carers are often spouses in their seventies and eighties doing a job that would exhaust someone half their age. Respite is how that arrangement survives: a standing weekly block, an overnight so sleep happens, a weekend so the carer can see their own grandchildren. The same caregiver comes each time (your loved one isn't handed to a stranger), and the handoff notes mean nothing gets lost between shifts of the family operation.

Respite for family caregivers in Delta: what families ask.
Does respite work when the person has dementia?
Yes: much of our respite is dementia respite. The same-caregiver rule matters double there: familiarity is what makes the family carer's absence unremarkable instead of distressing.
Can it be every Tuesday, say?
Exactly that. A standing weekly block is the most common Delta arrangement: predictable for your loved one, plannable for you.
