Narrative

Our Family Support Program provides monthly respite services. It includes activities for all ages. Respite provide 4-6 hours of respite for care givers. The activities are always age appropriate. Members have a fun-filled social experience. Activities range from bowling nights to attending special events in the community.

South Shore Support Services is very excited to be in the early stages of providing a respite site for overnight experiences.  Our site will be an apartment setting. People will learn the skills of independent living. We will have the latest assistive technology.  We will promote independence and empowers people to be as self-reliant as possible.  This will be designed for a small group of people (1-2). Staff will ensure that members have leisure time and activities to fill their day while developing adult living skills.
