In-Home Respite Services for Children with Developmental Disabilities
|
The In-Home Respite Care Program provides short periods of time to the caregivers of non-medically complex,
developmentally disabled children to permit them to take care of activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible
to accomplish while caring for their child. The activities may include anything from doctors visits to shopping to just remaining
at home for rest and relaxation-there is no restriction on the way the caregiver uses the respite hours. The program allows
for maximum amount of flexibility by allowing the respite to be provided in four to eight-hour blocks, and two to four at the
convenience of the family.
