Arc of Moore Co. Respite Options

Respite Care

The Arc’s Respite Care Program provides quality care for the individual with a disability while giving family members short-term relief from their day-to-day caregiving routines. The Respite Care Program’s primary goal is to offer a community-based service to families so that they might be more supportive of their family member with a developmental disability living in the home.

Other goals are:

To maintain and strengthen family units

To prevent out-of-home placement

To circumvent crisis situations

To allow persons with disabilities the opportunity to live as normally as possible

To relieve parent of the stresses associated with caring for a person with disabilities

On a pre-arranged basis, qualified care providers come to the home and care for the person with a disability while others are away, or busy with other activities in or around the home.

Services are available on an hourly or overnight basis, and may include community outings and activities with the family’s consent.

Respite Care is available for anyone of any age who has been diagnosed with a developmental disability or delay. Respite Care is available in Moore, Richmond, Hoke, Anson and Montgomery counties.
