Respite Care

Our Respite Care Program provides families with rest, support, and peace of mind while ensuring their loved one continues to receive compassionate, quality care. We offer several flexible options to meet varying needs and schedules:

In-Home Respite

Personalized support delivered in the comfort of the client’s home. Our trained staff help maintain familiar routines and provide engaging care while caregivers take time to rest or attend to personal needs.

Out of Home Respite

We create a welcoming and structured environment where children can explore, learn, and build confidence in a safe and nurturing space. These programs will include supervised activities, social interaction, and skilled care designed to promote safety, comfort, and community connection. Out of home respite program helps prevent burnout and maintain the well-being of both the caregiver and the children receiving care.

Emergency / Crisis Respite

When unexpected events arise, our team provides short-term, immediate respite options to ensure clients receive continuous support and stability during times of crisis.

Weekend & Holiday Options

Recognizing that caregiving responsibilities continue beyond the weekday, we offer flexible weekend and holiday respite opportunities—allowing families to rest, travel, or spend time with loved ones knowing their care responsibilities are fully supported.

Land Acknowledgment

With gratitude, mutual respect, and a spirit of reciprocity, Little Whispers acknowledges that we live, learn, and grow together on the ancestral and traditional territories of the Treaty 7 signatories. This includes 

  • Siksika (Six-ih-gah) Nation,
  • Piikani (Be-gun-nee) Nation,
  • Kainai (Gaa-nah) Nation, and the
  • Îethka Stoney Nakoda (Ee-iith-kah Stow-nee Nah-koh-duh) Nations, consisting of the Chiniki (Chin-ih-key), Bearspaw (Bears-paw), and Good Stoney (Good Stow-nee) Bands.

We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina (Sue-tin-ah) Nation, and recognize that the City of Calgary is home to the historic Northwest Métis (May-tea) and the Otipemisiwak (Oh-tay-Pem-soo-wak) Métis Government, Métis Nation Battle River Territory, Nose Hill Métis District 5, and Elbow Métis District 6.

At Little Whispers, we honour the stories, languages, and cultures that shape the land we serve, known traditionally as Wîcîspa (Win-cheese-pah), Guts’ists’i (Goo-tist-see), and Moh’kinstsis (Moh-gihn-s-tis), the gathering place where the Bow and Elbow Rivers meet.

We express our deep respect to all who share, celebrate, and care for this land. We are thankful for the original caretakers and knowledge keepers who remind us of the ongoing histories that precede us. As caregivers and educators, we are committed to walking together in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, fostering understanding, compassion, and unity for future generations.
