At Calvary Care Services Inc., we understand that caring for a child or young adult with mental health and behavioral challenges is a labor of love that can also be demanding. Our 245D-licensed respite care services are designed to provide essential relief for primary caregivers, offering a temporary break while ensuring their loved one receives exceptional, supportive care in a safe and structured environment.
We offer two primary types of respite care to meet your family's unique needs:
In-Home Respite Care
Our trained and compassionate staff provides care within the comfort and familiarity of your own home. This service minimizes disruption to routines and allows the individual to remain in their own environment. We honor your family’s customs and traditions, seamlessly integrating our support into your daily life.
Out-of-Home Respite Care
We also offer respite in a dedicated, homelike setting outside the family home. This option provides a positive and engaging change of scenery for the individual and can be an opportunity to develop new social and independent living skills in a supportive, community-based environment.
Our Approach to Respite:

• Skillful & Trained Staff: Our team members are not just caregivers; they are trained specialists adept at supporting individuals with mental health and behavioral needs. They are skilled in identifying early signs of distress and using effective, proactive strategies to ensure a calm and positive experience.
• Person-Centered Support: Every respite plan is personalized. We collaborate with you and your interdisciplinary team to understand preferences, routines, and specific needs, ensuring continuity of care and meaningful engagement.
• Fostering Independence: During respite hours, our staff focuses on imparting valuable life and social skills that promote autonomy and confidence, all while providing vigilant supervision.
