Respite Care Program

What is Respite Care?
According to Merriam-Webster, the word respite means "an interval of rest or relief". CFF’s Respite Care Program provides short term, temporary care to families who need just that: an interval of relief from the daily challenges that come with caring for a child with a mental health need.

What Makes Our Program Unique?
Qualifying families receive care that is tailored to meet their child’s needs. Depending upon the specific needs, our respite services can be provided on an hourly or overnight basis, and can take place in the home of the child, in the home of the respite provider, or in the community.

Our Respite Care providers receive:
  • High value and respect
  • Pre-service and ongoing trainings
  • 24 hour/7 day emergency on-call assistance
  • Crisis support
  • Generous hourly or per diem reimbursement
