This service is generally used due to a brief planned or emergency absence, or when the primary caregiver is available, but temporarily physically unable to care for or supervise the recipient for a brief period of time.
Respite care is not intended to be used as after school care or supplement personal care assistance when daily limits for personal care assistance is exceeded.Respite care for recipients age 21 and older is available as a part of the Personal Supports service family.
