DDD Respite Services
Yahweh SS Inc., respite program is designed to provide short-term relief for primary caregivers from the responsibilities of caring for individuals who are 21 years and above with chronic physical or mental disabilities. It provides parent/caregivers the opportunity to leave their loved ones with a worker of their choice while caring for their personal or family activities such as: purchasing food for the house, go for church services, etc. Our respite services may be provided in the participant’s home, a Department of Human Services (DHS) licensed group home, or another community-based setting approved by DHS. Some settings, such as a hotel, may be approved by the State for use when options using other settings have been exhausted.
Those in need of short-term care can depend on Yahweh SS Inc. for quality respite services. When you act as a primary caregiver for a loved one, it’s only normal to want to take a break or go on shopping.
