Programs at imperial Valley Respite
Agency Respite
Imperial Valley Respite’s Agency Respite Program matches families with agency workers to provide short-term, non-medical care and supervision to individuals with developmental disabilities so families can have relief from caregiving responsibilities.
Families will have the opportunity to meet and interview with an Imperial Valley Respite caregiver prior to starting services. The agency caregiver will come to your home to supervise, help with daily needs, and ensure safety for adults or children with developmental disabilities.
Employer of Record Respite (EOR)
Imperial Valley Respite’s Employer of Record Program allows families to choose, hire, and supervise their own respite caregiver, while the agency manages all employment tasks (payroll, taxes, W-2, etc.). The family’s respite care worker of choice will be able to provide the same short-term, non-medical care and supervision to individuals with developmental disabilities as our agency's respite workers in order to provide relief for the family’s main caregivers. This means families are free to choose their adult-child or other relative as their respite caregiver.
Imperial Valley Respite will take care of all the administrative employer tasks, including ensuring the family’s respite caregiver of choice undergoes all required background checks, orientations, and onboarding processes as well as verifying employment status and paying all employer-portion payroll taxes.
Self Determination (New!)
Imperial Valley Respite proudly participates in the Regional Center’s Self-Determination Program and will work with families to invoice and accept payments from their Financial Management Services providers.
Specialized Respite Care
Specialized respite care is a step-up level respite for developmentally disabled individuals with stable medical conditions who may require specialized assistance such as with g-tube cleanings and feedings, nebulizer use, and epi-pen administration. Respite workers would be specifically trained by a registered nurse or physician in the client’s homes based on the individual client’s needs.
