What is Respite?

Respite providers give a break or relief from caregiving responsibilities to a child’s or youth’s normal caregiver. Respite is part-time care, typically 1 weekend per month, for foster children so their foster parents can have time away. It can also be used for children who reside with their birth families to give parents a needed break. Provision of care is done within your own home.

Efforts will be made to ensure the child goes to the same provider on a regular basis. Respite needs to be scheduled with the approval of the agency and done by a provider who has been “certified.” YOU can do it— just share a love of children and a willingness to help others!

Respite providers are certified and reimbursed by Lakeshore CAP. Among other requirements, you must be at least 18 years of age, physically able to provide the necessary care, flexible, confidential, and must pass a background check. No education required. (Licensed foster parents are automatically certified and will not need to complete the certification process.)
