Caring for others, while rewarding, can also be exhausting. Family members who care for a loved one can sometimes need a break. Respite services provide temporary relief from the demands of care giving, which can help reduce overall family stress. This enables families to better meet the needs of their loved one. Respite can be provided in the home or out of the home. Through our Respite program, a Direct Support Professional (DSP) staff will work one to one with a person supported, or in small groups.
