Respite provides care on a short-term basis for a person who cannot take care of themselves, and who is usually taken care of by a family member or friend. The service is designed to provide temporary coverage for the caregiver during an absence or need for relief.

Minnesota State Operated Community Services (MSOCS) are services run directly by the state of Minnesota. MSOCS provides residential and vocational support services for people with disabilities.

This provider accepts waivers and Alternative Care for services if written in a support plan.

Contact them about other funding options, like private pay.

Waiver funding may cover up to 30 consecutive days of respite, 24 hours a day.

Learn more about this service when paid for under the waivers or the Alternative Care program in the Community-Based Services Manual.

If you have waiver funding, the support plan (based on an assessment of your needs) determines which services are funded through your waiver.
