Respite
Respite services provide temporary care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, allowing primary caregivers time to rest, attend to personal responsibilities, or manage other commitments. Whether scheduled in advance or needed due to unexpected circumstances, respite offers continued support in a safe and familiar environment. The service helps maintain consistency for individuals while giving caregivers valuable opportunities to recharge.
