Respite Care by city

What is a respite care provider?

Respite care is short-notice and short-term: crisis cover, a sick day, a hospital appointment, or a break for a family caring for a child with additional needs. It is not an ongoing enrollment, and providers differ in how much notice they need and who they will take. Availability is the whole question here, so the useful call is the one you make before you need it.

What to ask before you enroll

  • Ask how much notice the provider needs, and whether same-day cover is ever possible.
  • Ask which ages and which needs they can take, and be specific about your child's.
  • Ask whether they take children who are ill, and what symptoms rule a child out.
  • Ask what information they need from you in advance, then fill it in before an emergency.
  • Check whether a state or county program covers respite care in your situation.
