​​​Join the Coalition​

​​​These respite services were developed through the Kentucky Respite Connection funded by the Lifespan Respite Grant, a statewide initiative led by the CHFS partnership with family caregivers, respite providers, state agencies, and community organizations. Together, these partners identified the need for a centralized, easy-to-use resource that helps caregivers locate respite providers while increasing provider visibility.
