A family member who is not the direct provider of the respite service may select and pay for a respite service or worker that is skilled and responsible and understands the child's daily routines and needs. This provides the parent or primary caregiver relief for a certain number of hours per month, as agreed upon in the IPP.

Services provided in the family home that enable a caregiver or family member a break from the daily care needs of the consumer.

You have identified a respite worker that you would like to use for your adult child when you go out to run errands. You feel it would be much more efficient if you are vendored with the regional center so that you can hire and pay the respite worker directly
