Respite Care serves as a licensed foster placement agency. A child who is in protective custody may stay at the Davidson Respite House Emergency Shelter from a few days to a few months. After this period of recovery, both physically and emotionally, foster parent(s) are identified to continue the path of care and supports specially developed for the child. For a child with special needs, finding loving people willing to open their hearts and homes is a challenge.
That is why Respite Care sought and received licensing to be a foster placement agency for children with special and habilitative needs. By getting to know these children as individuals the chances of finding a good match is more probable. Respite Care is also committed to providing training and support for prospective foster parents so that they are better prepared for the challenges, and so the potential of each child can be maximized.
If you are interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent to a child with special needs, please contact our Residential Services Director at (210) 737-1212, extension 13.
