Welcome to Delaware Lifespan Respite Care Network

From time to time, families with caregiving responsibilities need opportunities for a break from caring for their loved one. The Delaware Lifespan Respite Care Network is here to help you find and finance respite opportunities so you have time to relax and rejuvenate.

We serve caregivers of:

  • Children with special needs or disabilities;
  • Adults with special needs, disabilities, or conditions associated with aging.

Call 1-800-677-3800 or in New Castle County (302) 221-2087 to speak to a specialist who can help you find care and identify resources to assist you.

If you have been approved for financial assistance since October 1st, 2012 please note that all funds must be used no later than September 30th, 2013 with invoices submitted no later than October 15th, 2013.
