Imagine parents who have not left their house together for decades, ever since their child was born with a disAbility or a disease. Some families cope with the challenges of an adult with special needs and have also found relief through our program.  Our respite program began offering four to eight-hour care breaks to families in 1995.  More than 1355 care hours were provided in 2011.   We would be happy to discuss our respite program for your family.
