In Meaningful Service To Families And Caretakers

Providing care can be very difficult and no one person can do it alone. Getting the help caregivers needs is essential for their health, and their ability to care for their loved ones. We provide funding to qualified persons and families lacking access to Medicare funding. We also provide accessibility to information and support for families and caretakers alike.

Although respite care is inherently short-term, this program is designed to provide a period of rest and renewal to family caregivers by temporarily relieving them of the demands and stresses of caregiving responsibilities. This type of care allows caregivers time away from the stresses involved in caring for their loved ones while providing time needed for self-care and other fulfilments for the individual.

There are many ways in which respite services can exist but comes down to a couple of basic ideas – shared responsibility for caregiving and support for the caregiver.

Who Benefits?

Families with Individuals who do no qualify for Medicare or state Medicaid programs.

Families with Individuals who have met their coverage limits or have gone catastrophic with their respective insurance provider.

Parents and caretakers in need of personal time for physical & mental wellness, or personal time for completing tasks otherwise too difficult to do with their individuals.
