In 2004, the Ottawa Respite Research Study recommended that a short-stay respite care facility be built in Ottawa to serve individuals who were living with early to mid-stage dementia. The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County joined with Perley Health Community of Care and Carefor Health & Community Services to launch that project. In 2007, Guest House became a reality.
Guest House was one of the first such facilities to recognize the need for respite care in early and mid-stage dementia in Canada. It continues to be a leader in the need for respite care, and maintains a strong presence in the community, referred and supported by agencies throughout the home, health and community care network of the Champlain Region.

A stay at Guest House gives the individual with dementia an opportunity to continue daily routines in a safe home-like setting while their caregiver gets time away from day-to-day care. We strive to support individuals with dementia and their families in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
