Respite Services
About this resource
Strive Living Society's Respite Services provide quality relief support to caregivers who need temporary or emergency reprieve.
Caregiving can be tiring and stressful after a period of time, and everyone could benefit from a break sooner or later. Strive offers temporary and emergency placements for individuals who require care so their caregivers can have some time to themselves. Strive also screens and pre-qualifies workers to go into the individual's home, allowing the caregiver to leave the home or take a vacation. This service is offered to care providers as well as to funders or families who wish to pay directly for services.
