Some children are sensorially handicapped by blindness, deafness, or speech defects. These children and their families are the population served by Respite Care. In April of 1982, after a year of ground work and planning, our doors opened twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Parents of children with developmental disabilities can schedule their child's visit to Respite Care for a few hours, a few days, or up to 14 consecutive days. Our lovely, warm, family home is staffed by professionals in developmental disabilities.
Developmental activities enhance the child's school and home program.
Meals are provided with attention to excellent nutrition. We serve families throughout Larimer County who have children between the ages of birth and 21 years old with some type of developmental disability. The need for Respite Care is tremendous and we are filling an important void in the lives of these dedicated families allowing them to keep their children at home.
