Respite Services

The Respite Center is a ten (10) bed facility, available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week for individuals 18 years and older, with developmental disabilities. Services are provided to Waiver Participants and Family Supports through AAHSD. These services are needed occasionally by the Client and/or their family to provide a "respite" from one another as well as provide the Client the opportunity to socialize with peers and interact with the public through numerous recreational activities.  These outings emphasize the importance of leisure activity in independent living. The Respite Center is also a resource during time of family crisis, or other emergencies, to provide a place for a Client to go until the crisis is resolved.

We are currently accepting new participants at the Respite Center. In order to receive these services, a participant must be certified through the local Acadiana Area Human Services District (formally OCDD). They can be contacted at 337-262-5610. If you are currently receiving Waiver Services (including NOW, Supports or ROW), you can contact your Support Coordinator to inquire about adding these services and schedule a tour of our Facility. In addition, if you are approved for Family Supports through AAHSD, you can contact their office about adding Center Based Respite Services and scheduling a tour of our Facility.
