ARCH National Respite Network Information
|
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.
Respite care can be needed at any time by anyone, across the lifespan. From a parent who needs care for their child while they are hospitalized to a spouse who needs relief from the constant care of an Alzheimer's patient, there are many instances in which respite care can help a stressful situation.
Respite care can be provided in many ways by volunteers, in the faith community and by human service agencies. The NCRCC would like all these resources to be known and available. The coalition would like to increase funding for this care and look for new ways to provide it.
The mission of the NCRCC is to provide a network that promotes and supports a statewide quality respite care system.
Our vision is to preserve and strengthen family caregiver well being and enhance child/adult safety through the provision of respite and crisis care services.
