Respite Services
In-Home Respite: People with developmental disabilities often require extra attention at home. The Arc's Respite program gives families short-term relief from the continual care of their son or daughter or family member. Most families use this time to shop, run errands, schedule appointments, spend quality time with their other children, go out for the evening, or have private time alone. Through this program, Arc helps to maintain family stability and prevent or delay the need for out-of-home placement. Children or adults who are developmentally disabled receive respite care in the privacy and comfort of their home. Arc offers respite care any hour of the day or night, 365 days of the year. Sibling care is also available at the same time for a nominal fee.
Respite House: The Arc of San Diego offers two respite programs, the traditional in-home service and Respite House. Respite House is a one-of-a-kind weekend home for up to four ambulatory developmentally disabled adults age 18-59. Families who are part of this very special program drop off their family member at 6pm on Fridays and return at 6pm Sunday. The home offers weekend activities for the consumer to enjoy both in the house and out in the community. Respite House provides a break for families as well as an enjoyable weekend for the consumers.
