Child Respite provides short-term, temporary care to children with or at risk of Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD) – allowing families to take a break from daily caregiving. Child Respite services are available to residents of Los Alamos, Santa Fe, and Rio Arriba counties. Our respite providers partner with families to create a service plan and schedule specific to their circumstances, values, and culture.
Respite care providers assist children with activities of daily living, promote health and safety, help kids feel connected to their communities, and offer fun recreational activities. Families and providers decide where respite will be provided, which can include:
The individual’s/family’s home
The respite care provider’s home
A community setting of the family’s choice (community center, swimming pool, park, etc.)
A center-based setting
