Self Determination Program · SDP code 310
In Home Respite.
Through California's Self Determination Program, a trusted support professional spends time with the participant at home, so the people who provide support every day get a planned break.
One afternoon. Two sides.
Respite is not sitting or watching. It is real time, for everyone.
An ordinary afternoon, their way.
Time with someone they know, doing what they would normally do at home.
Real time, without worry.
An appointment, an errand, sleep, or rest, knowing who is at home and when.
What it can include.
Familiar routines kept in place
Making and sharing a meal
Music, movies, or hobbies
A walk around the neighborhood
Household tasks, together
Medication reminders, per the plan
Calls with friends
Quiet time when preferred
