Bay Respite Care

Respite From

The Heart

(Employer of RecordRespite)

This is our respite program for families of the North Bay Regional Center only (you must live in Solano, Napa, or Sonoma county to qualify for this program).

With Self-Service respite, the family already has a person to watch their loved one. Bay Respite Care hires the worker for the family and manages all associated paperwork and taxes for the RCP and family. We will hire as many workers as the family needs. When the family no longer wishes to use a particular RCP, they inform us and we will deactivate their file.

The family is responsible for any personal care and protective supervision training that the worker needs.

Full-Service Respite

(Agency Respite)

Bay Respite Care provides Full-Service Respite to six Bay Area counties plus part of the Sacramento Valley. We work with the North Bay Regional Center, Golden Gate Regional Center, Regional Center of the East Bay, and Alta Regional Center. All of our Private Pay clients fall under this category as well.

With Full-Service Respite, Bay Respite Care recruites, trains, hires, and supervises the workers. We do home visits with our new families so we can connect our workers and families for the best possible matches. This is our more "hands-on" respite program as Program Coordinators are very involved in the matching and supervision of workers.

Bay Respite Care provides non-medical in-home respite care for people with developmental disabilities, an illness, a physical disability or impairment that requires care in the home.

We give family members a break from the unique demands of caring for someone who is disabled or are disabled themselves. Our Respite Care Providers assist in all the tasks necessary to help a disabled or impaired person to stay in their home including activities that stimulate the mind and enhance physical well-being.
