Respite care is a form of foster care. When a foster parent is unable to care for a child (for example, a medical reason, a vacation, or just needing a break), they reach out for respite care. Respite parents take kids into their home on a short-term basis—from a few hours to a few weeks.
Some respite care requires minimal training and a background check, while other care requires full foster care certification. All respite care is important and desperately needed right now. Contact us to find out more!
