Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things a family can do — and one of the most demanding. Our Respite program supports families at two stages of the caregiving journey, offering relief, resources, and the assurance that they don't have to do it alone.

Respite care providers assist the individual in activities of daily living, promote the individual’s health and safety, as well as provide opportunities for community integration and involvement and leisure, play and other recreational activities. Families and providers make the decision about where the respite will be provided, which can include:

• The individual’s/family’s home

• The respite care provider’s home

• A community setting of the family’s choice (e.g. community center, swimming pool, park, etc.)

• A center based setting

Our respite providers partner with families to create a service plan and respite schedule specific to their circumstances, values and culture.
