What Is Respite Care?
Respite Care is temporary, short-term care for individuals with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and special needs. It is designed to give regular caregivers and family members a break so you can rest, work, or attend to personal matters.

Key Benefits for Parents, Caregivers, and Individuals with Disabilities
Respite Care provides caregivers with much-needed relief and reduces burnout by providing care for your loved one. It also provides individuals with disabilities opportunities for socialization and fun!
Caregiver well-being
Respite Care gives you much-needed breaks. Take care of your own physical and mental well-being, pursue personal interests, or spend time with friends. Taking time for yourself is key to your own mental and physical health and enables you to be a more effective, patient caregiver.
Social support and networking
If interested, we can connect you with other individuals and support networks in similar situations. This gives you the chance to share experiences, exchange advice, and build a sense of community with people who “get it.”
Personalized care
Respite Care ensures that your child or dependent receives personalized care and attention in a safe and supportive environment.
Family stability
Respite Care helps you promote a balanced family dynamic. You can devote time and attention to other family members, which is key to all-around healthy relationships.
“Respite services are also available which makes for more relaxed parents! We recommend Focus on Freedom to anyone who can benefit from it.”
Amy Schoening, Parent
