Relative Respite Program

Easterseals Relative Respite Program is a program designed to support grandparents or other relatives who are raising children because the parent is no longer able to do so. If you are a Delaware resident 55 or older and raising children who are under 18, you may qualify for Easterseals Relative Respite Program.

All applications are processed in the order in which they are received until funding is fully obligated.  This program is partially funded by the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities through the National Family Caregiver Support Program, Title III-E of the Older Americans Act.

Contact Easterseals Relative Respite Program at 302-221-2087 or resources@esdel.org with questions.
