Monthly Respite Care Events
Family Support Services now offers monthly events for children with developmental disabilities. Children and youth ages 5-21 are invited to join in theme-based activities once a month, while parents and caregivers receive respite relief for a few hours at scheduled times.
RSVP in advance! Children will receive personal invites in the mail! So we can better ensure a fun and safe environment with individualized care, parents need to fill out and bring with the enrollment form found on this page. There is a $5/child fee for each event.
Personal Support
Family Support Services is now offering personal support as respite for parents and caregivers. Rates are calculated based on staffing ratio as follows:
1 caregiver/1 child…$17/hr. ea.
1 caregiver/2 children…$12.68/hr. ea.
“I was not looking for a daycare setting. I wanted structure for my autistic son and had gotten recommendations from my son’s teacher. He needed structure and socialization and he’s got that here.”
