Description

The role of a Respite Nurse is to offer one-on-one time between a child and licensed nurse within the family’s home or community.  Respite care is designed to give families a break from the day-to-day care involved in raising a child with special healthcare needs. ChildServe’s respite service allows parents to attend events for their other children, schedule appointments for themselves, or simply take time to recharge.
