Lifespan Respite¶
The Lifespan Respite program supports people who take care of individuals across the age and disability spectrum. It provides respite vouchers to eligible caregivers which allow them to pay for care for their loved ones while they take a break from their own caregiving responsibilities.
Eligibility¶
- Applicant age: at least 55
- Relationship: grandparent, other relative
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in Delaware? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Does your relationship to the person — grandparent or other relative — count for this program?
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
