Respite Care

The short-term stay is for a child who has medical complexities and/or may be technology assisted. From a 24 hour stay to one lasting up to 14 days, each child is provided with medical/nursing care and recreational activities in a secure and therapeutic environment. Families may choose this program for a variety of circumstances: temporary absence of private duty nursing care at home, parent illness, vacations, family emergencies and much needed rest.

Emergency Respite

In the event a family is faced with an unforeseen emergency, such as a death in the family or a parent/caregiver’s unscheduled hospital stay, Almost Home Kids will make every effort to accommodate an emergency respite stay for their child with medical complexities.
