Sonshine L.I.G.H.T. Respite Program

Living in Grace, Hope and Trust

Sonshine will now provide respite care in the eastern end of Ottawa for youth over 16 and adults with disabilities. Our goal is to offer families meaningful relief, peace of mind, and a safe place for their loved ones to stay. Rooted in our values of safety, inclusion, respect, and compassionate care, the L.I.G.H.T. program is a “home away from home” where each individual is seen, valued, and supported.

Specializing in behavioural services, our team is trained in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI/ CPI), First Aid and CPR and Person-Centred Care. LIGHT is more than a respite program; it’s a place of belonging.

  • 24-Hour Staffing
  • Flexibility in dates/ times to suit the caregiver’s need (Up to 6 months)
