Respite Care for Individuals Under 21: Day and Quarter-Hour Services at Brilliant Stars Inc.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite Care provides temporary relief for caregivers by offering supervised, hands-on support for children and young adults. These services allow families to take a break, run errands, attend appointments, or simply recharge, knowing their loved one is in capable hands.

Respite services may include:

• Assistance with personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming)

• Meal preparation and feeding support

• Supervision during play, school, or community activities

• Support for daily routines and skills development

• Social and recreational engagement
