New Pilot Program: Non-Medical, In Home Respite Care
Our Escondido location has launched an In Home, Non-Medical Respite Program. UCP families living north of Highway 56 up to Fallbrook may be considered for this pilot program. Respite service hours are approved by the San Diego Regional Center, for clients of all ages, and are provided at no cost.
The pilot program is managed by Respite Program Coordinator Lisa Lipsey. Respite care is essential — it provides consistent, much needed breaks for families with ongoing caregiving responsibilities.
Respite hours work best when scheduled on a consistent weekly basis. Respite shifts can be scheduled Monday – Friday between 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., Saturdays by request.
