At Easterseals MORC, we understand the stresses involved with caring for a loved one with an intellectual disability. One of the ways we help to alleviate these stresses is by providing respite care.
Respite means a break. Our respite services offer short term, hourly or overnight relief for families taking care of a person with a developmental disability. These services give family members the opportunity to go out for an evening, take a vacation, take care of other needs, or simply take a break.
Families of children and adults with developmental disabilities who are currently living with their parent(s) or guardian in Oakland or Wayne County. Respite services approval may vary by county, so ask your Easterseals MORC Support Coordinator or local Easterseals MORC office for more information.
Payment for respite services is dependent on the family’s ability to pay. No one is denied service based on lack of financial resources.
Services are available for individuals with intellectual disabilities who are on Medicaid and meet the eligibility requirements for public mental health services.
