Out of Home Respite
Ages 5 - 20
Our Out-of-Home Respite Services offer a unique opportunity for care recipients to step outside their familiar home environment. This option is particularly appealing for various individuals:
-
Adolescents Transitioning to Independence: Ideal for adolescents preparing for more independent living arrangements, providing exposure to new surroundings and expectations.
-
Young Adults with Disabilities: Tailored for young adults with disabilities who prefer to socialize with peers of their own age.
-
Aging Populations with Memory Loss: Even aging individuals with mild to moderate memory loss can benefit from this experience, as it offers cognitive and emotional stimulation.
Key Benefits:
-
New Experiences: Exposure to new surroundings, peer relationships, and different expectations.
-
Freedom for Families: Caregivers have the freedom to enjoy time in their own home without the constant demands of caregiving, allowing them to focus on other family members.
Special Considerations:
-
Transportation: Depending on the situation, transportation may be required, and special equipment may need to be moved.
-
Adjustment Challenges: Some care recipients may find it challenging to adapt to an unfamiliar environment.
-
Diverse Settings: Services may be provided in various settings, some more restrictive than the care recipient's home, such as specialized medical centers or nursing homes.
