RESPITE FAQs
How do I know if I am eligible for Respite services?
A person is eligible to receive Respite services if their primary caregiver(s) are absent or need relief from caregiver duties. As a 245D Basic Service, Respite requires that a person has a waiver for either Brain Injury (BI), Community Alternative Care (CAC), Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI), or Developmental Disabilities (DD), and is referred by a case manager.
Where will Respite services be provided?
Respite care can be provided in a person's home, in the home of a family member or friend acting as a support worker, or in a community setting.
How does my Support Worker become hired through PAI?
- Individual or their Representative will receive a New Hire Packet at the individual’s intake meeting.
- Individual/Representative and Support Worker will complete the New Hire Packet and submit paperwork to PAI’s HR department by mail, e-mail, or fax.
- PAI Human Resources notifies Individual/Representative of Support Worker's status by mail or e-mail. If complete, PAI Human Resources sends the official “date of hire notice” to Individual/Representative.
