households are caring for a special needs child

Last year our Respite Care served as a home away from home for

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.
