Respite Reimbursement
This program offers financial assistance to help offset some of the expenses incurred while using an adult day service, home care agency, or privately-paid home helper to help preserve the health and well-being of the caregiver. Emergency respite is also available through our “Caregiver In Need” fund that provides financial assistance to caregivers who have an urgent, short-term need.
