In-Home Respite

Many families prefer respite that is provided in the home. There are several advantages to in-home respite:

• An individual is comfortable in their home and does not have to adjust to a different environment. 
• The parents/caregivers are often more comfortable if their loved one with a disability does not have to leave the home; 
• The home is already equipped for any special needs.
• Families can be matched with a provider based upon their specific needs. Support can be rendered on a short term basis (less than 24 hours) or overnight (24 hours).

This time may be used by families for a variety of reasons, to go on vacation, go into the hospital, go shopping, or to rest and relax. Hours of care vary based upon need and the ability of a provider.  Please contact Mary Haider at 412-995-5000 ext. 491 or Rochelle Tyler at ext. 476 or via email at mhaider@achieva.info or rtyler@achieva.info to schedule an appointment.  For information about respite funding click here.
