What is Respite?

Who Qualifies?

How to Apply

Imagine parents who have not left their house together for decades, ever since their child was born with a disAbility or disease.  Our respite program began offering eight-hour care breaks to families in 1995.  More than 3,500 care hours were provided in 1999. 

Respite is...

• A support service for families

• Home based care for a child or adult with a disability

• Provided by Trained Nurse Aids

• For Jackson County Residents

• Providing Short Term Care

• 4 to 8 hour shifts 3 times per month up to 24 hours per month

• At a reasonable minimum cost of $4.00 per hour (attempts will be made to accommodate financial hardships)
