Caregiver Services
Easterseals refreshes caregivers so they can best care for their families and loved ones.
Overview
Easterseals Respite Programs provide critical support to wounded warriors, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and civilian families who have children with and without disabilities. With respite care, parents and caregivers can focus on themselves and each other, daily responsibilities, and other loved ones to keep their families healthy and strong.

Our Programs
Volunteers Needed! Easterseals Weekend Respite is entirely volunteer-based. We can only serve as many children as there are volunteers. Volunteers are paired with a child based on mutual interests and the volunteer’s skills and comfort level. Contact respite@eseal.org to volunteer.
