Respite Care

When you’re the parent or guardian of a child with special needs or a disability, you’re also a caregiver, and playing dual roles can sometimes become demanding, difficult, or stressful. Respite care is important in helping the whole family find balance because the child attending a program will be engaged in activities that work with their abilities (and may even increase their independence or social skills), and the primary caregivers have time for rest, to relieve stress, to run errands or do something for themselves, and to re-energize. 

As a parent, sometimes it’s hard to remember that you need to take care of yourself as well as your child, and respite care allows parents time to take care of their mental and physical well-being. 

At Linda’s House we offer Respite Care for Medically Complex children 6wks-3yrs of age. You can feel comfortable leaving your child with our dedicated and caring staff while you attend to your own needs. We provide an inclusive environment where children of all abilities play and learn together. Our school nurse is in attendance full-time during the day to oversee every child’s safety and well-being. Our staff of teachers and medical professionals work as a team to individualize care, play, and learning opportunitues for each child in our care. 

We offer morning , afternoon, and full-day sessions. Registration is required for enrollment into Respite Care.
