Respite Supports

Ongwanada recognizes the importance of a break for caregivers and their family members and provides respite supports for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Our goal is to provide a fun and integrated experience that fosters social interaction, friendships, and personal growth. Respite also gives families or caregivers a break from their regular responsibilities, a chance to re-energize, and an opportunity to pursue their own interests.

Respite

Respite is offered on weekends at a home in Kingston to provide parents and other caregivers with occasional relief. Respite is available in some Ongwanada homes throughout the week and may be available with Host Families. We encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns.
