What is respite care and support?

Respite care and support provides temporary relief from the physical and emotional demands involved in caring for a family member with a developmental and/or physical disability. This support creates greater opportunities for all family members to live actively and participate in community activities while allowing caregivers time for themselves.

Services in the community can include individual providers or respite/support options offered through organizations. The respiteservices.com database allows families/individuals to connect with support providers. By creating a profile, families/individuals can reach out to potential matches. Community respite options can also be explored.
