Respite
Respite is a break for caregivers and families. Respite is a service in which temporary care is provided to children or adults with developmental disabilities. Respite can occur in the community, in the member’s home, or in a certified respite home, depending on the needs of the family and number of hours assigned by DDD. Most often respite care takes place in the families own home where professional care-givers provide an opportunity for parents or guardians to have some time for themself –to shop, to attend an appointment, or to spend time with other children or a spouse. Respite can sometimes feel like a mini vacation for the guardian that allows them time to rejuvenate and refresh themselves so that they may return to their families with a brighter outlook. CDE has 8 respite homes, located in Florence, Maricopa, Nogales and San Tan Valley, if you need an extended amount of time away. Caregivers can arrange with CDE administration and their support coordinators for coverage during vacations or just an overnight stay on the weekend.
