Respite House at Perley Health

Important Update: Perley Health to Assume Operation of Adult Day Program and Respite House

We're writing to share an important update regarding the Adult Day Program and Respite House at Perley Health.

Effective Monday, July 21, 2025, Perley Health will assume full responsibility for the delivery of these two short-stay community programs. Both programs will continue to operate under one roof in the bungalow located at 1750 Russell Road, Ottawa, Ontario.

Please know that the Perley Health team is working to smooth the transition; our priority is a seamless transition for all Seniors and Veterans. 

The Adult Day Program and Respite House at Perley Health will continue to serve qualifying adults living with mild to moderate dementia, maintaining its current structure and weekly schedule in the bungalow at Perley Health, offering spacious communal areas and 12 bedrooms. Existing care plans remain in place, and there is no need for current clients to re-enroll. Clients will also gain access to Perley Health's highly regarded therapeutic recreation and creative arts therapy programming.

This transition brings both programs under the leadership of Perley Health, a trusted healthcare provider committed to Compassion, Respect, Integrity, and Excellence. While the service delivery team will be new, our staff are experts in dementia-informed care, dedicated to providing safe, enriching, and person-centred programming.

We extend our sincere thanks to Carefor staff for their years of dedicated service and appreciate the community's support and patience during this time of transition.
