Finding Balance When You Need It Most
Maintaining a healthy family dynamic can be challenging when caring for a child with higher needs. The Family Respite Services Program is here to help. We connect you with trained, compassionate caregivers who provide specialized support, giving you the time and peace of mind to recharge. With our Respite Program, you can focus on your well-being while knowing your loved one is in capable hands. This service is provided to families of children with significant developmental delays, behavioral, emotional and/or other special needs.
Parents. Guardians. Caregivers.
Family Respite is Here to Help
We understand that raising a child with developmental or behavioral health needs can present unique challenges. Family Respite Services is here to help you find balance. Our respite care gives you the opportunity to recharge, so you can be the best caregiver possible. Let us support you in creating a healthier, more balanced life for your family.
UPDATE– As of March 2025 we have needed to pause the hiring of new respite providers.
We still encourage families to apply for Family Respite because we may have a
current provider available to assist and support your family.
