Respite provides families temporary relief from the constant responsibility of caring for a child with special needs. For families whose children present behavioral challenges, it is important to have the peace of mind of knowing that the respite care provider has the skill and knowledge to deal with behaviors as they arise. Our Serenity Respite Team has helped maintain family stability during crisis situations and made it possible for people with disabilities to establish individual identities and enrich their own growth and development. From behavior assessments to family and community interface, our services have drawn positive reviews from residents, family members, and the respite care industry.

Traditionally, Respite Care has been used by the families of children with developmental disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, or Autism. However, Respite has been used successfully by child abuse prevention programs to help stem instances of child abuse in families at risk. Also, people caring for a terminally ill or elderly parent or relative can benefit from this time to maintain healthy stress levels. In fact, anyone overwhelmed by the duties of care-giving can benefit from a temporary relief.

The mission of Serenity Respite Services is to offer the finest respite care in Northern California, from attention to detail in designing a care plan for your loved one, to the highest standard of excellence in service and personalized care. We provide relief and empower parents, relatives, and, by extension, the care recipients, to build on their inner strengths and assets to create an environment of sustainable peace for all to thrive in stronger, healthier homes.
