Peace of Mind

Respite care services are designed to provide essential support for caregivers and their loved ones. This service offers a much-needed break, allowing families to recharge, whether for a few hours or several days. The family decides who they want their respite professional to be, ensuring that they can step away knowing their needs will be met.

There are two types of Respite Care.

  • In-home respite, which is respite care provided in the person’s home, and can include time spent in general community locations such as malls, parks, libraries, etc. while the person continues to stay in their home.
  • Out of home respite is respite that is provided for a person in a licensed setting or unlicensed setting that is not the person’s home. This includes time spent in general community locations while the person stays in a licensed or an unlicensed setting that is not home.
    • There are age requirements for different types of out of home respite settings.  Please click here for additional information.
