Offering respite care in a therapeutic environment, The Children’s Center at The Phoenix provides a variety of services to those 21 and younger. If you are caring for a child with a disability or special needs, it can oftentimes feel overwhelming. Respite is not only satisfying to those receiving care but fulfilling for caregivers alike. Respite services provide short-term care and supervision consistent with the health needs of the child to supplement care to provide a safe living environment and/or to support or relieve caregivers for the benefit of the person.
ā
Services can be provided as planned or unplanned, in a non-routine interval, focusing on rest and relief to family members or other unpaid caregivers who reside with and provide ongoing care to the child.
ā
Whether going on vacation or simply desiring a break from daily care to renew energy, respite provides caregivers and families with immense benefits from maintaining health, affording time to refocus, and offering a break from the care routine. Respite care can be used on short notice to cover an emergency, like an illness or a crisis that calls you away from your child.
ā
Respite delivers perspective, allowing caregivers to think more clearly to provide their loved ones the best care possible. Our interdisciplinary team is here for you whenever you need us - affording you peace of mind that your child is receiving exceptional care in an environment that can accommodate all of your child’s needs.
