The Need
Over
children in the US have a disability requiring special care
households are caring for a special needs child
Last year our Respite Care served as a home away from home for
children
Caring for a child with special needs takes more than love—it requires time, energy, and support. Our Respite Care services offer a safe, compassionate home away from home, giving parents a well-deserved break while ensuring their child receives expert care.
Lahser Children’s Respite Home in Beverly Hills provides center-based respite care for children ages 6-17 with Intellectual or developmental disabilities, including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and down syndrome. Many also have medical needs requiring specialized care. Our dedicated team creates a safe, family-like environment where your child is supported and nurtured.
- A large, accessible home nestled into a tree-lined street in Beverly Hills
- 3 spacious bedrooms, a living room, playroom, kitchen, dining area and outdoor play areas
- Guests enjoy daily activities, community outings, socialization, and the chance to make new friends.
Our care is available when:
- You or a family member has a medical condition that requires attention
- You need to be out of town, visit with relatives, or take a vacation
- You need a break from your daily stress and demands of caregiving
- Your support coordinator or case manager should begin by sending a referral to the Lahser Home at (248) 646-1297 or work through their child’s support coordinator.
- Our staff will then send the Intake paperwork to you. Once all completed documents are received, our Respite Care team will review your application for eligibility. Once confirmed, you will be contacted to schedule and intake and tour.
- To ease into staying at Lasher Respite, a short daytime visit will be scheduled for your child depending on their ability to acclimate to an out-of-home environment.
- Once a short visit has been completed, a single overnight stay during the week is scheduled. Upon completion of the overnight, you will be invited to use the respite home.
- Note: You must receive written authorization from your support coordinator/case manager before any stay at Lasher Respite
