Usually the child comes to spend a weekend each month. During this time the child spends time with the family and develops a relationship with the new "extended family". This provides support to the child's family, provides a nurturing relationship for the child and provides new experiences for the child. |
| Comments : | Associate families are caring individuals who are committed to developing a relationship with a child with special needs. They provide all the care needed by the child during their stay. Associate families receive funds that will cover the cost of the care of the child. All associate families go through a thorough screening process and must be approved by Family Respite Services. Family Respite Services is committed to providing safe and caring homes for the children. |
