The Arc Chemung-Schuyler’s Respite Program is a service offered to families who are responsible for the daily care of a loved one with a developmental disability. Caregiving is a demanding job and even the healthiest families need a break. In fact, studies have shown that it is actually healthy. Respite allows the caregiver to attend to their personal needs of socialization and relaxation in order to have a balanced life.

We have a home offering waiver-enrolled planned respite, consisting of a one bed, 24-hour, or hourly service.

The service is available to individuals starting at age 18.

We take pride in providing community inclusion opportunities for our guests. Visitors have the chance to engage in the possibility of various activities including bowling, taking a trip to the mall, going to the movies, fishing, and any other excursion the house has planned during our company’s stay.

The respite home provides a comfortable setting in spacious home in which a respite visitor can spend up to 10 consecutive days (a total of 42 days per calendar year), or just a couple of hours during the evening, or weekend. This provides families an opportunity to take some needed planned time and a great opportunity for our visitors to establish friendships, increase socialization skills, and have lots of fun! This is also a great opportunity for families who are considering future, or immediate residential placement to become familiar with our residential programs.
