Respite
We serve participants who are unable to care for themselves in order to relieve those persons who normally provide care for them. Respite may be provided in the participant’s home, a DHS licensed group home, or another community-based setting approved by DHS. Some settings, such as a hotel, may be approved by the State for use when other options are not available.
