Day Respite Care

Our respite care program, Day Break is an individualized program for young adults with complex needs.  Day Break provides opportunities for individuals to be more involved in the community.  It will also give families respite time for other activities. 

In a caring, fun and safe environment, young adults are provided with therapeutic, social, recreational and educational opportunities.
