Respite Care Services

Respite Care Services provide quality in-home care for children and adults with developmental disabilities, giving families a brief break from the tremendous demands of caring for a person who is disabled. The Arc has provided over 16,500 hours of respite to over two hundred families. Through our emergency respite program, families now have a resource to turn to in times of crisis, such as a need for immediate medical attention.
