Respite Services

 

Respite hourly services are generally provided in the person’s home and allow the primary caregiver such as a parent or guardian to have relief or take a break from caring for the individual. Respite services are the most basic service type in that they only include being attentive and responsive to the individuals most basic needs.

Respite services may include very simple tasks such as:
•Keeping the individual company 
•Playing a board game with the individual
•Giving the individual a reminder to brush their teeth
•Assisting the individual with basic meal preparation
