Person Centered
Care Services

Respite

Caring for others, while rewarding, can also be exhausting. Family members who care for a loved one can sometimes need a break. Respite services provide temporary relief from the demands of care giving, which can help reduce overall family stress. This enables families to better meet the needs of their loved one. Respite can be provided in the home or out of the home. Through our Respite program, a Direct Support Professional (DSP) staff will work one to one with a person supported, or in small groups. Telehealth options may also be available for Respite. If your loved one requires more support to focus on behavioral or medical needs, PCCS also offers Intensive Respite. Through Intensive Respite, our clinical team will create a person centered support plan and provide training to the family and staff on how to best support the behavioral or medical needs of your loved one.

*In order to receive the service you must already have the HCBS waiver from OPWDD.* 

Self Hire A Direct Support Professional! If you know someone you would like to be hired as your DSP to work with you or your family member, they are more than welcome to apply to be your DSP and work with you to achieve your goals. DSPs should apply on our PCCS website under “Join Our Team” Tab.

If you are interested in learning more about the program, you can reach out to our Intake and Benefits Specialist Lucia Rossi
