Respite

Respite is a short-term support that is provided for children and adults in the absence of or to give relief to, any individual providing care to that person. It is available for a person who does not receive residential services and resides in their own home or family’s home and is unable to independently administer self-care. Respite may be provided in the home or community.

Respite services are provided by a Direct Support Professional (DSP).
