Boundless offers a variety of warm and welcoming respite care options to families.

What are respite services?

Respite services provide short- to medium-term relief to eligible families with adults or children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) or behavioral health challenges such as autism living in the home. Services vary by county and have been impacted by COVID-19.

What types of respite services does Boundless offer?

A trained Boundless service provider works in your family’s home.

Stays at our twenty-four out-of-home respite locations can vary from two hours to a maximum of two weeks at a time.

Extensions Before-School Program

Delivers the right mix of recreation activities and social interactions for your loved one to enjoy before school/day programs (Only at North East Living Skills Center).

Extensions After-School Program

Provides support for your loved one after school/day program, offering recreational activities or a comfortable space to complete homework and relax (Only at North East Living Skills Center and West Central School).

Drop-in Respite

Drop-in respite offers hands-on assistance as well as fun activities, including art, sports, and games. Respite participants practice building a variety of emotional management skills and much more.

Enhanced Respite

Boundless Enhanced Respite is a therapeutic offering that integrates behavioral health services into a traditional respite program in the home and community. Enhanced respite allows families the freedom to leave home while our highly trained staff remain with their loved one. As part of Enhanced Respite, our staff assist with various activities to increase the individual's independence. Activities are based on the needs of the individual and can include daily living/hygiene, communication, social/emotional skills, and recreational and leisure skills.

In-Home Respite has been a great experience for us! It’s so easy to schedule, and all the providers are so kind and caring. We really trust them with our child. It provides us with the opportunity to get some time alone as a couple while spending our money on resources to help our child. I would recommend it to anyone!
