Length of Stay: How long can someone use UCP’s Respite Care Program?
The total number of days per fiscal year (July through June), that can be used for Respite is designated in a person’s Individualized Service Plan (ISP). Once a request is made through the Support Coordinator, families are able to schedule respite days over the course of the year. Most families request weekends, Friday through Sunday, or weekdays, Monday through Friday. Lengths of stay for each Respite request vary, as attempts are made to accommodate family vacation planning and other needs.
