The National Respite Locator Service helps parents, family caregivers, and professionals find respite services in their state and local area to match their specific needs. Please give us your feedback. Let me know if you have any problems with this service, or if you find that a listing is out of date or no longer providing respite care. Thanks.

How to Use This Service:
Use the "Search for Respite " feature to find the programs in your state and city that provide the services you are requesting. For more information about the services offered by each agency, call the agency. In the very near future, the "Search for Respite" feature will also bring up a page of additional state resources. Included here will be information on how to pay for respite, including specific funding sources in your state that might be available through Medicaid Waivers or other state agency funding sources. Eligibility criteria, if available, and links to state pages to help you apply for this funding, are also provided. Check back soon for this ehanced feature.
If you are a respite care provider, you may "Add Your Program" to the Locator Service by using this feature.Once you have registered your program, you will have a User Name and Password that will enable you to "Log-In" and make changes to your listing when you need to.
When you have a User Name and Password, you will use the "Login to Update" feature to make changes in your agency's listing.
Use the " State Listings " feature (above) for a listing of all the respite providers listed for the state you choose.
Please Note: The National Respite Locator database is not a complete list of all the respite programs that exist. If you fail to find a program near you on our list, you can also check with your State Lifespan Respite Program, your State Respite Coalition, your state’s child abuse prevention agency or child welfare agency, an Aging and Disability Resource Center, or the Eldercare Locator Service. Private organizations such as Easter Seals, the Alzheimer’s Association, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The ALS Association, The Arc of the US, University Centers on Disabilities, National Adult Day Services Association's Directory of Adult Day Services, or United Cerebral Palsy may also be able to refer you to respite services in your community.
