Respite Care in Philadelphia
Respite offers a way to explore temporary support while a regular caregiver takes a break or handles other responsibilities.
Plan a temporary break
Discuss the dates, routines and responsibilities you would like help with. A proposed arrangement must fit the individual’s needs, worker qualifications, staffing and any required approvals.
Urgent requests
If plans change suddenly, call our team to ask about availability. Coverage cannot be guaranteed, and this website does not provide emergency response. For an emergency, call 911.
Payment and authorization
Coverage depends on your specific plan, eligibility, authorized services, and our participation. Contact us to confirm coverage and any expected cost before scheduling care. Ask the relevant program or plan whether respite is a covered and authorized benefit for the specific situation.
