Respite and Residential Habilitation

Regulation Update!

If you have not heard the rules have changed for Residential Habilitation at home services.  As of February first, we are now providing the service in as little as fifteen minutes and we can go up to a few hours per week.  Each person has their own approved amount of time and if you have questions about your approved hours please give us a call at 607-431-9280 Ext. 204 and we will be more than happy to help you with your questions.

Residential Habilitation:

Learning skills within the home gives individuals a chance to see how skills apply in real world situations and gives families the opportunity to translate what is learned in their day or school program into their home life.

Residential Habilitation is goal oriented and can include assistance and guidance in such things as personal care, activities of daily living, cooking, cleaning, or money management.  Residential Habilitation is funded through our Home and Community Based Waiver Service.

Respite:

The purpose of respite is to give the family a break from the every day care of a person with a disability. Springbrook can provide a worker in an individual’s home to give the family an opportunity to have either time for themselves, shop, go out for a meal, or any desired activity.  Respite is not goal oriented but rather just assisting a family to have some relief time.
