The Cridge Respitality Service

Rest and Rejuvenation

The Cridge Respitality Service provides parents or guardians of a child with a disability a chance for rest and rejuvenation in a welcoming and comfortable environment while their child receives respite care in the family home.

Participating parents in this program receive a complimentary overnight stay for two in a hotel, bed-and-breakfast or resort.

There are also complimentary enhancements available for those parents who are not able to enjoy an overnight hotel stay. These may include entertainment certificates, flowers, or tickets to Victoria attractions when available. This program is about ‘caring for the caregivers’ and is a partnership between the hospitality industry, local businesses, and community services agencies.

The Cridge Respitality Service is a proud recipient of the British Columbia Community Living Association’s Innovation Award. The coordinator, Mimi Davis, has received numerous accolades in the community for this service as well.

For information about these services as a parent or caregiver, please call Gyneth Turner at 250 995-6412 or email respitality@cridge.org
