Respite:

Why Respite?

Respite care can give relief to family caregivers of individuals with developmental disabilities to reduce stress and allow time for themselves, other family members or whatever they need to “get a break”.

Benefits include:

• Relief of stress on family caregivers
• Enhancing family relationships
• Time for personal, social and recreational interests
• Access to appropriate physical care, developmental and recreational activities, and community resources

We are seeking funding to resume respite supports.
