SERVICES - RESPITE SERVICES
AHRC provides out-of-home and in-home respite opportunities, ranging from a period of a few hours to a few weeks, to individuals with developmental disabilities who reside at home with their families.
School Holiday Respite is offered during the weeks that twelve month school programs are closed, for a total of 5 weeks (2 weeks in August, 1 in December, 1 in February and 1 in April). The respite is for children with special needs, between the ages of 5 and 21 years of age. Children are picked up at their homes in the morning and brought back in the afternoon.
Weekend Hotel Respite offers recreational weekends at hotels, staffed by AHRC personnel.
Free Standing Respite is available at AHRC staffed houses and apartments, for up to 14 consecutive days.
Respite opportunities are available to individuals with developmental disabilities of all ages from all five boroughs at sites throughout the city. Free Standing Respite is available only in the borough in which an individual resides.
