Who Are We? The North Carolina Respite Care Coalition is a grassroots network of parents, family caregivers and professionals in the field of respite care as well as government funding representatives and others from across the state who have an investment in family support services. The
coalition began in 1997 with a small group of people interested in
forming a network and making respite care known and available to all in
our state who need it. Today NCRCC operates as a program of Easter
Seals UCP North Carolina. Mission: The mission of the North Carolina Respite Care Coalition is to promote and support a statewide quality intergenerational respite care system Vision: Throughout North Carolina there is an established seamless network that meets the respite needs of families, caregivers, and individuals across the lifespan

Through a Lifespan Respite grant from the NC Division of Aging and Adult Services, the North Carolina Respite Care Coalition has a limited number of vouchers to reimburse lifespan family and informal caregivers toward the cost of obtaining respite care. ACT QUICKLY! This one-time source of money will be gone when all funds have been awarded or by August 30th, whichever comes first. Applications must be submitted by a referring agency; click {insert link for application package} for more details.
