Respite Care Services
Our community-based Respite Care program is designed to
provide temporary residential support to children and
adults who reside in Erie County. Caregivers and
families often need a break from care giving for planned
events such as vacations and unplanned events such as
an emergency, family crisis, or hospitalization.
Individuals that reside in Erie County can receive
up to 28 days of respite service per fiscal year
(July 1 through June 30). Respite Care Services
are provided in a specially modified community home
designed to accommodate the varied needs of individuals.
Respite Care staff have been trained to work effectively
with individuals who have developmental disabilities.
Respite Care is a licensed program and follows Department of
Public Welfare Chapter 6400 Regulations. Referrals are made
through Case Management Support Services.
