What Are Respite Services?
Respite services provide temporary relief for caregivers of people with developmental disabilities.
These services are essential as they offer caregivers a much-needed break to rest, recharge, and attend to personal matters, knowing their loved ones are in a safe and supportive environment.
Funding Recreational Activities From OPWDD
Our recreational activities are partially funded by the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) respite funding through the individual's Life Plan budget. This funding helps offset the costs of participation in our programs, making it more accessible for families
