ADULT RESIDENTIAL RESPITE | EMERGENCY PLACEMENT
We provide respite care services provided in a residential location to adults, 18 years through 65 years old, when the caregiver or other care provider is in need of relief and the individual is in need of a substitute care provider on a short term basis. Respite Home of Virginia (RHV) primarily provides respite services in order to give caregivers a break, however we also are able to accommodate short-term emergency placements. The respite services consist of routine supports, general supports, and safety supports (as may be needed) that are provided to enable an individual to acquire, retain, or improve skills necessary to successfully live in the community. This service may be provided to individuals who are living in
- a home with a primary caregiver and Receive companion aide or personal care services or
- the home of an adult foster care provider.
Respite home residential services may be provided to the individual continuously up to 24 hours per day for the allocated period of stay, by paid staff who are physically present. This service may be provided either individually or simultaneously to more than one individual living in that home, depending on the required support (i.e., toileting, or other personal care activities).
