Description

Grantees will be expected to use funds to plan, establish and expand/enhance Lifespan Respite Care systems in their states, including new and planned emergency respite services, training and recruiting respite workers and volunteers and assisting caregivers with gaining access to needed services.

Applicants will be given examples of performance goals and indicators based on the objectives of the Lifespan Respite Care Act, such as indicating how they will quantify how their proposed activities further enabled families to choose control, and navigate service options and gain access to those services; describing their plan for, and their data measurement for, serving all age groups and disability categories, without preference for a select demographic or disability population; document increased collaboration with non-profit statewide coalitions and the ADRC/NWD systems in their state; and provide a means of measuring their progress in developing a functioning and sustainable state Lifespan Respite Care Program.
