It's a long weekend for everyone… except the parents who never clock out.

While Calgary fires up the barbecue this Heritage Day, thousands of parents are doing what they do every single day: tube feeds, med schedules, transfers, sensory meltdowns, 2 AM checks. There are no stat holidays in caregiving.

Here's something we wish more families knew: respite care isn't just for seniors. At Bonne Haven, our nurse-founded team provides respite for children and young adults with special needs — so you can rest, run errands, or just sit in a quiet room for three hours without listening for sounds down the hall.

You are allowed to take a break. You're a better caregiver when you do.

This August, we're dedicating every Monday to respite care — what it is, who it's for, and how Calgary families are using it. Follow along.

August support is easier to arrange before your family reaches its limit.

If your family is anticipating appointments, work demands, summer activities, school preparation or simply the need for a dependable break, now is the time to begin the conversation.

Tell us:
Who needs support

When you need coverage
What would help you feel comfortable stepping away

Contact Bonne Haven at 403-546-3267, email [email protected], or send us a private message to ask about August respite availability.

Support should not stop at the front door.

Transportation and accompaniment can help individuals remain connected to appointments, errands and community activities.

For adults needing additional support, having a dependable person alongside them can make everyday plans easier for both the individual and their family.

Tell us where your current routine is becoming difficult. The solution may be more practical than you think.

Personal care should never feel rushed, impersonal or embarrassing.

When someone needs assistance with everyday personal routines, privacy, communication and choice matter.

A respectful caregiver explains what they are doing, listens to preferences and supports the person’s dignity throughout the process.

Whether care is for an adult with a disability or an older adult, the person receiving support should remain at the centre of every decision.

For special-needs families, back-to-school preparation can begin long before the first day.

Changes to sleep, meals, transportation, appointments and daily routines can make the transition demanding for the entire household.

Consistent in-home support may help families create breathing room while gradually re-establishing familiar schedules.

July is a good time to begin discussing what support may be needed in August and September.

A daughter should still have time to be a daughter—not only a caregiver.

The same is true for sons, spouses, parents, siblings and grandparents.

When one person becomes responsible for every task, family relationships can begin to feel centred entirely around care.

Additional home support can help with practical responsibilities so families have more room for conversation, connection and time together.

Care should support relationships—not replace them.

Summer should not mean an older adult has to stop doing the things they enjoy.

A little support can make everyday summer activities feel more manageable.

That may include transportation, companionship during an outing, help picking up groceries, preparing a light meal or having someone present while family members are unavailable.

The goal is not to take over. It is to help seniors continue participating in the routines and activities that matter to them.

You may not need full-time care. You may simply need dependable coverage at the right time.

Families explore respite for many different reasons:

• A regular weekly break
• Occasional appointments or errands
• Work commitments
• Family events
• School holidays
• Temporary changes in the household
• Time with a spouse, friend or another child

The conversation should begin with what would make your week more manageable.

Message us to discuss the schedule your family is trying to solve.

Sometimes the support a senior needs begins with having someone dependable to share the day with.

Companionship can include conversation, a shared meal, a favourite television program, a short walk, a card game or help completing a familiar routine.

These moments may seem simple, but consistency and meaningful interaction can make home feel less isolating.

For adult children balancing work, parenting and caregiving, regular companionship can also provide valuable peace of mind.
