Respite Care
Respite services are flexible family support services. The Respite Care providers assist the family by providing temporary periods of time away from the caregiver’s duties.
Respite services may include routine health care, meal preparation, eating assistance, assistance with self-help skills, social awareness, encouraging community integration and providing opportunities for leisure time activities.
Each individual receiving respite services is encouraged and supported in making his/her own choices with regard to daily activities.
