Our Respite Services are based on the needs and desires of families. Families are able to choose a Caregiver that has already been approved through our screening process, or they can refer their own Caregiver (who must also complete the necessary requirements through our screening process). Parents guide and monitor the Caregiver relationship, and are responsible for necessary training of the Caregiver with assistance from our Respite Managers. Families also choose the respite model, by scheduling respite hourly, overnight, in their home or the Caregiver’s home and in community.

Adults, children and youth with developmental disabilities have a right to live full lives in our community. Our respite service provides opportunities for individuals to grow, make friends, participate in community, learn, have fun and make choices for themselves.

We believe this helps create a more welcoming and inclusive community that can see beyond disability to ability…and that benefits us all.
