RESPITE CARE: THE BASICS
What is it?
Respite care is a break for parents, caregivers, and family members in which temporary care is provided for children and young adults with disabilities. Respite can take place in the family's home, or out in the community. This program is a great opportunity for parents to take advantage of, and UCP has plenty of great respite workers available!
We provide insurance, workers' compensation, payroll taxes, and wages for our respite workers.
Who can use it?
Authorized Tri-Counties Regional Center families can use UCP as an agency respite vendor. This means that UCP takes care of hiring and paying the respite worker, and also ensuring that they are sufficiently trained.
