Respite Services
Everyone needs time to rest, reset, or handle other responsibilities. Respite provides short-term support for the individual while giving a family member or other regular unpaid caregiver planned relief.
Support for the person and the caregiver
Good respite should feel safe, respectful, and familiar. Support follows the person’s approved plan, routines, communication, preferences, and health and safety needs so the caregiver can step away with greater peace of mind.
Depending on the approved plan, respite may include
Personal care and daily living support
Meals and routine household activities
Medication assistance within the authorized plan and provider rules
Supervision and implementation of approved safety strategies
Community access and preferred activities
Support with communication, routines, and transitions
Short-term support, planned thoughtfully
The setting, schedule, tasks, and level of assistance depend on the person’s authorization and Life Choice’s current availability. Contact the team early enough to review fit and planning needs.
Program note
Availability depends on authorization, location, staffing, and the person’s support needs. Requests with more planning time are easier to review.
