Crisis Respite
Providing Relief and Support in times of Instability
What is a Crisis Respite (out-of-home)?
Crisis respite services are short-term behavioral or medical intervention services to protect the person or others living with them and provide relief and support to the caregiver. Specialized staff serve BrightPath’s crisis respite services, and consist of professional staff who are specially trained in crisis prevention, intervention and resolution and meet certain qualifications, as explained in the provider standards and qualifications section on this page.
Who is eligible for Crisis Respite?
A person is eligible to receive crisis respite when both of the following are true:
Caregivers and service providers are not able to provide necessary behavioral or medical intervention and protection of the person or others living with them.
The services allow the person to avoid institutional placement or remain in the community.
What is covered under Crisis Respite?
Crisis respite covers all the following activities:
• Assess the person and situation to determine the factors causing the crisis.
• Assist, supervise and provide care necessary to ensure the health and welfare of the person.
• Develop a person-centered intervention plan, in coordination with the person and support team, that is based on recommendations in the assessment.
• Consult with and train the provider(s) and/or caregiver(s) to ensure successful implementation of the intervention plan.
• Provide ongoing technical assistance to the provider(s) or caregiver(s) to implement the intervention plan.
• Recommend positive support strategies and revisions to the person’s support plan to prevent or minimize future crisis situations and increase the stability of the person living in the community.
• Develop and implement a transition plan to support the person’s return home if they receive out-of-home crisis respite.
• Out-of-home crisis respite covers room and board costs when the service is provided in a foster care setting or community residential setting (CRS) licensed to provide crisis respite.
