This guide (40 pages, in French) offers a straightforward and practical self-assessment tool through which organizations working with the caregivers of older adults can compare their methods and services to current promising practices in terms of respite. Created to better meet the needs of caregivers in Quebec, it promotes continuous improvement among all caregiving stakeholders in the public, associative, community and private sectors. The self-assessment component includes 17 criteria inspired by promising practices in Quebec, published scientific studies, general parameters validated by L’Appui pour les proches aidants, and respite needs expressed by caregivers during consultation. It is based on action research carried out by the Centre d’expertise en santé de Sherbrooke at the authors’ request.

The guide and its user manual can be downloaded from L’Appui’s website.
