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.
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.
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
