Matthew's House is an organization that will provide respite for severely disabled children. It is the first of its kind in Abbotsford, as it offers a place where parents can have their children stay so they can go on a holiday or take some much needed time to have a rest. It will offer long and short term respite based on the needs of individuals and their families.
Matthew's House is Inspired by a boy whose family wish to stay very involved in his life but also understand that to give him the quality care he needs, they must occasionally step back and let others help.
Matthew's House is not an institution. Its intention is to provide children with special needs an extension of their home, honouring each family's beliefs and the desires for their child's care.
Matthew's House will be run by experienced nurses and staff through Communitas Supportive Care, a long time organization that has provided many special needs adults with homes and quality care. |
