Individual and Family Support Services (formerly known as ‘Respite’) at SCACL is a vital program providing essential relief for families caring for individuals with disabilities. Our service aims to reduce family stress, increase stability, and offer a much-needed break from the daily responsibilities of caregiving.

We understand the importance of caregiver preservation and the need for comprehensive family support. Our services play a crucial role in maintaining family well-being and ensuring the best possible care for individuals with disabilities.

How Our Service Works

Our program connects families with skilled caregivers who provide temporary care for their loved ones. We involve families at every stage, from caregiver selection to schedule arrangement. Whether you need support for a few hours, a weekend, or longer, we’re here to accommodate your needs.

Families can choose whether care takes place in the caregiver’s home or their own, with an emphasis on community engagement. This tailored approach ensures comfort and support for both the individual receiving care and their family members.

To maintain the highest standards, all our caregivers undergo a thorough screening process—including a Criminal Record Clearance—conducted by the SCACL Coordinator. We then carefully match caregivers with families based on specific needs and preferences, creating an optimal care experience.
