RESPITE CARE EFMP FAMILIES

Caring for children with special needs can be physically and emotionally challenging.  EFM Respite Care provides parents the opportunity to rest and rejuvenate with peace of mind, knowing their children will be well cared for. Families in EFMP must meet eligibility criteria, which varies by branch of service.
