Family members and regular caregivers may occasionally need time away from their usual caregiving responsibilities for appointments, errands, work, or personal commitments. Respite Daily Services provide temporary support for an individual with a developmental disability during these periods, allowing the individual to continue receiving assistance while the usual caregiver is unavailable. The service can be arranged for designated periods in accordance with the individual’s authorized services.
How It Works
During a respite period, support may involve:
Assistance with regular daily routines
Support with appropriate activities and recreation
Assistance with everyday tasks
Supervision and support during the scheduled period
Participation in appropriate home or community activities
What to Expect
Respite is provided for a defined period when a family member or regular caregiver needs temporary relief from their usual caregiving responsibilities. The individual continues to receive the assistance appropriate to their authorized services while the caregiver is away. The length and frequency of respite depend on the authorized service arrangement and the individual’s circumstances.
