Respite care is a necessary and vital service which supports families by providing them short-term relief from the constant and often stressful care they provide for their family member with a disability. Respite helps prevent unnecessary or premature institutionalization of an individual with a functional or developmental disability. The family member completes an application for respite service. Families are allotted a specific number of hours and a rate of pay to be paid to a caregiver chosen by the family. The family and the caregiver agree to a schedule and reimbursement is made to the family after a time sheet has been turned into the respite office.
