The Department of Rehabilitative Services (DARS) Lifespan Respite - TopicsExpress



          

The Department of Rehabilitative Services (DARS) Lifespan Respite Voucher Program has a limited amount of funding available to provide reimbursement of up to $400 per family caring for individuals in need of respite services. These requirements apply: 1. The primary family caregiver must reside in the same physical location as the person receiving/needing respite services; and 2. If the family currently receives respite services, funds cannot be used to replace current funding for respite/daycare or to pay for respite just to allow the caregiver to work. Funding must be used to provide services that allow the caregiver to take a break from caregiving duties: it must go “above and beyond” what is currently being received. If approved, individuals must pay for the respite services up-front, then apply for reimbursement through DARS. Application materials can be accessed only by contacting Mary Strawderman, Respite Program Coordinator via phone 804.662.7505 or e-mail [email protected].
