Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Respite Essentials, LLC is a small, family owned company. We have personally experienced the alternative programs available for the CES waiver, and we wanted something better. At Respite Essentials, we focus on building relationships, developing children's passions and helping support families.
Homemaker: Homemaker services are provided in the home. The services include cleaning, light cooking and other tasks to alleviate the overload for caregivers of children on CES waivers.
Community Connector: Direct service providers accompany children on the CES waiver to a variety of community-based experiences. This not only allows caregivers time without the child, but it also provides life skills and community connections to the children.
Respite Care: Caregivers, of children on a CES waiver, get a break provided by our direct service providers, this allows caregivers time to complete errands, visit family or friends, or whatever task needs to be completed without the child in tow.
