Pennyroyal Center
Respite Program makes it possible for parents or caregivers to take much
needed breaks to go grocery shopping, go to the beauty shop, or out to dinner.
Respite also gives the individual a break from the parents as well.
All respite requests
are presented to a committee made up of Pennyroyal Center I/DD Program
Managers. Funding is based on need, inability to procure services elsewhere
and the availability of state funds. New requests are presented at regularly
scheduled meetings of the I/DD Management Team on the first and third Thursday
of the month.
