Statewide Respite Care Program: This program offers services to individuals needing care to provide a break (“respite”) to unpaid caregivers. Services can include adult day care, home care, companion services, campership, or a short stay in a facility. There is a caregiver directed option, which allows the caregiver to pay for/be reimbursed for services or items that make caregiving easier. Individuals eligible for this program must: live in the community and require daily, basic care that is currently being provided by unpaid caregivers such as a spouse, family members or friends; not participate in other services that provide this type of care; meet financial guidelines for income and assets. There may be a co-pay based on income. For more information, visit: www.state.nj.us/humanservices/doas/services/srcp/.
