Locations

Sometimes you need a break. Respite care gives you time to rest, run errands, or take care of yourself while someone else provides short-term care.

Through the Lifespan Respite Program, eligible caregivers can apply for respite vouchers to help cover the cost.

You may qualify if you’re caring for:

• A child or adult with disabilities
• An older adult
• A relative’s child (age 55+ caregivers)

For more information, contact the Delaware Lifespan Respite Care Network through Easterseals of Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

If you live far away but still manage or help with a loved one’s care, you’re a long-distance caregiver. You may help with finances, emergency planning, or coordinating in-home services.

You can:

• Call the Delaware ADRC at 1-800-223-9074
• Use the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or visit eldercare.acl.gov to search for local programs across the U.S.
