Respite care provides a care-giver to work with children or adults with developmental disabilities in their homes, providing a break for their families, guardians, or foster parents. Respite services are available for assisting families and relatives with regularly scheduled support, as well as in times of unforeseen need, such as medical crises, behavioral, personal, or professional purposes.
Families, guardians, and foster families of individuals who are mentally and/or developmentally disabled are qualified to receive respite care services. There is no fee to families for respite care provided by Trinity Services, funded through a grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services. Respite services are limited to 180 hours a year per child, and a maximum of 10 hours of respite care per day.
