- Summary:
-
The paper examines issues of respite care specifically as they relate to developmentally disabled persons in Minnesota. A review of the literature focuses upon the status of respite care services in the state as well as the need for respite care and its role in an array of family support services. Family services are described in terms of those in the home (such as homemaker services) and those outside (such as specialized nursing services and state residential facilities). Respite care programs in two other states, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, are also described. A final topic covered is financing respite care services. The paper concludes that respite care is a supportive as well as preventive service for families, and that its lack in Minnesota has resulted in an overreliance on the use of state hospital facilities by families seeking temporary relief. A reference list and a list of respite care training resources are appended. (CL)
