Respite Support

Providing families with flexible relief and peace of mind.

Caring for a loved one with a disability is a full-time responsibility, and every caregiver deserves a break. MCS offers a range of respite options tailored to meet the distinct needs of each family. From one-on-one in-home care to group activities and weekend stays, we offer safe and supportive settings for both individuals and their caregivers.

Respite Options

1:1 Respite

MCS has a small pool of trained direct care staff available to provide individualized support in the family’s home.

Family-Identified Respite

Families may choose someone they already know and trust to provide care. MCS coordinates approval and offers a stipend to the identified provider.

Facility-Based Respite

With a DDS referral, individuals can enjoy weekend respite at our accessible home in Westfield — complete with personalized activities and 24-hour support.

Group Respite

Group activities throughout the year focus on fun, creativity, and socialization — planned with input from participants to match their interests and abilities.

Eligibility & Access

All respite options must be discussed and approved with your Service Navigator and/or DDS Service Coordinator.
Availability may vary depending on funding and program capacity.

Every caregiver needs time to rest and renew. Reach out to our Family Support team to explore available respite options.
