What is Respite Care?

At Allover Healthcare Group, we understand that caring for a child with autism can be both rewarding and challenging. That’s why we offer Autism Waiver Respite Care Services to help give parents and caregivers a much-needed break. Our services are fully covered by Medicaid for eligible children who are participants in the Maryland Autism Waiver Program.

Respite care allows caregivers to take time for themselves while trained professionals provide safe, supportive, and engaging care for your child. Whether it's a few hours or a few days, respite care can make a world of difference for both your child and your family.

How Does It Work?

Our respite care services are designed to support children with autism in ways that meet their specific needs. Through the Maryland Autism Waiver Program, we provide families with respite care at no additional cost if the child qualifies for Medicaid.

The care can take place in your home or at a facility, where your child will receive individualized support from professionals who understand autism. These breaks help parents and caregivers recharge, reducing stress and improving overall family well-being.

Why Respite Care is Important for Your Child and Family

• Time for Parents to Recharge: Caring for a child with autism can be exhausting. Respite care gives parents the opportunity to relax and refresh, so they can continue providing the best care for their child.
• Fun and Engaging Activities for Your Child: During respite care, your child will enjoy activities designed to improve their social skills, develop new abilities, and have fun with trained caregivers who specialize in working with children on the autism spectrum.
• Stronger Family Relationships: By giving caregivers a break, respite care helps families spend more quality time together. Parents can focus on other important family relationships, leading to a happier, more balanced home life.
