There When You Need Us
Entrust is a leader in disability respite services within the greater Edmonton area, providing innovative, best-practice care to our clients. We develop unique, personalized care plans so that we can provide complete, effective care to your loved one.
Our priority is to make you feel comfortable, supported, and enabled to take the break you need.
Personalized Respite Care
It’s the little details that make a difference. We take the time to get to know our respite clients and create custom Respite Care Plans and Client Summary Sheets that take into account their support needs, interests, likes and dislikes, and daily routines.
Our Clients
We work with children, youth and adults who have complex needs. Our philosophy is to always be there, to provide support and care when it's needed the most. With our team's experience and specializations, you will get the support and relief you need, without barriers.
Respite to Recharge
Providing 24/7 care to a loved one is tolling, especially if you are struggling to be the best version of yourself. For anyone raising a child with special needs or in a caregiver role, self-care and recharge time must be prioritized.
Being a caregiver is part of your identity, but it doesn't need to be your entire identity; respite services can help you achieve balance.
