Become a Foster Care or Adoptive Parent
Short Term Care
Some families are not interested in making the full-time commitment
fostering or adopting a child. For those families, providing Respite
Care is a way that they can help our program.
- Respite care is any service or program which provides care for
a person while the primary caregiver is engaged in another activity,
other than employment.
- Respite care is any service providing families with a break
from everyday tasks and activities that are central to the care
and well being of persons requiring a high level of care and supervision.
- Respite care with the Dan Fox Program is one weekend a month,
from Friday evening through Sunday evening.
- The the Dan Fox program matches a foster child with a respite
family.
- All respite families read the foster child’s file before
the initial meeting of the child.
- Respite parents are paid a $75 stipend per weekend for caring
for the child.
