About Respite Connection
Respite Connection began from a passion to make life simpler. For families, respite care can be the extra support needed when life becomes overwhelming. For those who provide respite care, it is an enriching life experience and an opportunity to directly impact another individual. Respite Connection was created to simplify services by focusing on our passion…respite.
In 2003, Respite Connection added Supported Community Living as a service to provide families the opportunity to use one agency for both services. These services complement each other in their support of individuals and their family members.
