Respite

Respite is a service provided on a short-term, emergency basis to relieve the primary caregivers. There is an annual four-week limit for respite services.

Respite Services may be provided by a specialized agency in the person's home, the home of a family member or friend, or in an agency licensed respite home.

Respite services may also be provided by someone that the person and family already knows who is qualified and willing to provide assistance either in the person's home, the home of a family member or a friend's home.
