Overnight Respite
Overnight Respite (OVR) provides a secure and supervised environment for youth diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) to stay overnight in a licensed facility. This service offers families a reliable short-term alternative living arrangement, ensuring that their loved ones receive continuous care and support.
Elmy’s Family Support services and Respite care give essential breaks to parents and primary caregivers of youth diagnosed with developmental disabilities, offering them a chance to rest, enjoy leisure activities, or catch up on personal tasks. During these breaks, skilled professionals take care of the youth either at home or in another secure environment.
