Business Hours
Monday - Sunday
By Appointment Only
Closed during the summer months of June - August. Will re-open in September for fall programs. ​

Every horseman knows the relationship with a horse is ﻿﻿special. But for those who are recovering from injury or who live with mental or physical disability, this relationship can open the door to new realms of possibility. Horse and human become partners in a therapeutic ﻿﻿relationship which offers the opportunity to explore abilities rather than disabilities. Participants learn to be at ease, rather than diseased.

C asey's provides therapeutic horseback riding and Equine Assisted Activities at a very minimal cost or on a sliding scale for those who cannot afford our very reasonable fees. The program income provides only 15-20% of the funding needed annually to keep our services in place and to cover the very high costs of feeding and maintaining horses, maintaining our facility, overhead costs such as insurance, staff and certified instructors. Therefore, we rely heavily on the generosity of the community and its businesses and corporations through donations, grants and other funding. Located in beautiful Hudson Florida we strive to put the spotlight on these wonderful animals who keep our thriving community together. We are conveniently located to serve Pinellas, Hillsborough, Hernando and Pasco counties. If you have questions about our programs, please call or e mail us﻿﻿.

"Don't let the person who hurt your heart mess up the One sent to heal it! #letitgo", Paula White.
2019, Paula White facebook fan page.

Matthew 5:22 says that in God's eyes being angry with someone in our hearts is the same as murdering them.

We all know that do not murder is in the big Ten Commandments.

By remaining angry towards someone, we give satan a way (aka: open door) to creep into our lives. It's only by the grace of God that he doesn't take us out. Don't ever forget that that is his ultimate goal.

Anger can steal our joy, take away our fun and steal our opportunities. Anger makes us bitter, struggle with vain imaginations, and can literally drive us crazy.

Forgiveness is so critical ... it boils down to life and death; spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and even physically. Many of us suffer with ailments whose root is unforgiveness.

Unforgiveness is rooted in pride.

It has the potential to steal, destroy and kill us. It's vital that we choose to forgive those who have wounded us, whether it was intentional or unintentional. I realize that some of us have been severely wounded by betrayal, but there are no exceptions to the command that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves and that means forgiving everyone who has ever hurt us.

God's grace will enable us to do this, if we lean on it, rely on Him, depend on, have faith in and believe in Him to do it.

Our sins are literally not forgiven unless we forgive others.

Choose today who you will serve. Choose life or chose death. Either way, it's your decision and regardless of which we choose, we will reap the consequences of that decision. I appeal to you, to choose life and life abundantly. Let it go. #EmbracetheJourney. It's time to move on, be healed, and fulfill your God given destiny. God loves you more than we'll ever likely completely be able to comprehend and He's got a good plan to prosper you and to give you hope. Let His love cover and heal those wounds.

Lord, help us to forgive those who have wounded us and give us the courage we need in order to go to them, if it's your perfect will to do so. We thank you for your grace, for forgiving us of all of our sins and that you throw them as far as the east is from the west and remember them no more. We thank you that your grace is sufficient and that we can do all things through you, who make us strong when we are weak. Thank you for your amazing, extravagant, and relentless love. Help us to understand it more today than ever. In Jesus' name. Amen.

If you're new here, WELCOME! I'm really honored that so many people are signing up to receive my blog ... actually shocked, but really grateful. I apologize that there appears to be no comment button. We're trying to get one put in, however if you simply hit return after entering your comment, I'm pretty sure it will come through. Yes, I'm screening them. This is not a place for controversy and drama. I've learned to have very strong boundaries over the years, not just to protect my emotional health, but those who are trusting me to be in their sphere of influence. This blog's purpose is to be a safe place for encouragement, spiritual enlightenment, growth and healing. I hope to inspire you to walk in the fullness of your destiny and to encourage you in the lavish love our Creator and His Son, Jesus Christ.

If you'd like to connect with me to do bible studies together, I'm on YouVersion. I'm hosting a free online art class now every Tuesday 9-10am EST through a closed group on facebook, Art With Julie Academy. Feel free to send me a DM for the password. I'm posting daily on my instagram, twitter and facebook fanpage, JulietheArtist. Check out the stories for the latest in creations from my art studio and day to day activities around the ranch. I'd love to connect with you. If you need prayer, please don't hesitate to contact me! If you're an intercessor and feel called to pray for my husband and I and all that God has entrusted to us, please send a request to join our closed facebook group, Beauty From Ashes™ Ministries Prayer Team.

Above all, know that you're, loved, valued, and cherished, and that your life has a very special place in the purposes of God! If you're holding onto unforgiveness, LET IT GO! God will enable you to do, if you allow Him to. He'll turn the ashes of your life into beauty, if you allow Him to. But it's on His terms, not ours! We simply gotta trust and obey.

In His lavish love and amazing grace,

Forgiveness, Matthew West (video)
Stand in Your Love, Bethel Music and Josh Baldwin (video)

25 So Discard every form of dishonesty and lying so that you will be known as one who always speaks the truth, for we all belong to one another.
26 But don't let the passion of your emotions lead you to sin! Don't let anger control you or be fuel for revenge, not for even a day. 27 Don't give the slanderous accuser, the Devil, an opportunity to manipulate you!
Ephesians 4:25-27 TPT

Confidence and strength flood the hearts of the lovers of God who live in awe of Him, and their devotion provides their children with a place of shelter and security. To worship God in wonder and awe opens a fountain of life within you, empowering you to escape death's dominion.

Proverbs 14:26-27 TPT

22 But I'm telling you, if you hold anger in your heart toward a fellow believer, you are subject to judgment. And whoever demeans and insults a fellow believer is answerable to the congregation. And whoever calls down curses upon a fellow believer is in danger of being sent to a fiery hell.

Matthew 5:22 TPT

Part II: Wounds in need of healing.

Ten symptoms that indicate wounds that are in need of being healed:

You avoid specific places.

You avoid certain people.

You have made a silent inner vow.

You suffer from emotional triggers.

You engage in addictive behaviors or have an unhealthy attachment.

You experience ongoing, unresolved grief.

Your thoughts bully you.

You have a secret you've never told anyone.

You struggle to verbalize your hurt.

More than 100 years ago, the Y created the concept of group swim lessons and to this day, teaches more than 1 million children and adults invaluable water safety and swimming skills every year. The Y's size and reach as a vital community asset uniquely positions the organization to bridge the gap in the delivery of swim lessons and water safety education. Our Jim & Heather Gills YMCA is proud to offer swim lessons for all ages!

Classes are organized by age group...

...and then by stage.

Swim Starters

Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidencebuilding experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.

Swim Basics

Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:
1) Swim, float, swim - sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit.
2) Jump, push, turn, grab

Swim Strokes

Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.

Welcome to USSA

United Special Sportsman Alliance, Inc. (USSA) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit wish-granting charity specializing in sending critically ill and disabled youth and disabled veterans on a free outdoor adventure of their dreams.

USSA adventures give our youth and veterans something to look forward to and help sustain them in their time of need. Providing families with a respite from the mundane, man-made world of hospitals and high medical bills, USSA adventures replace that world with a place of peace, so they have the opportunity to focus on the quality of life, family ties, and the wonders of our natural world.

USSA is composed of a 100% volunteer staff from all walks of life, bonded together by a common love for our fellow man and deep respect and appreciation of our world's natural resources. Working cooperatively with caring 'Adventure' donors as well as generous individual and corporate sponsors, USSA significantly impacts the lives of thousands of children, disabled veterans, and their families. Through these valuable efforts, the image of sportsmen is enhanced in the public eye, and lifelong friendships are made. To learn more about the charity, please view our ' About USSA ' page.

Pasco eSchool supports the district's mission by providing a comprehensive list of courses, Guidance, ESE, and staff supports. Our virtual platform offers diverse educational opportunities for a variety of learners. Pasco County Schools Student Support and Services Program

When a student who is eligible for services and accommodation under an Individual Education Plan (IEP) begins the process for enrollment in Pasco eSchool, our Student Services Team will review the student's academic records and IEP to determine whether Pasco eSchool has the necessary staffing and supports available to provide an appropriate educational environment, in accordance with Rule 6A-6.0334, F.A.C. Families may be required to submit copies of report cards, transcripts, and the most current IEP for review.

If the student's IEP suggests that enrollment in our full-time virtual program is a viable option-and if the student's academic history and records do not indicate a need for other more intensive academic or behavioral supports, the family's request to enroll in Pasco eSchool may be approved. Students with IEPs must meet all of the enrollment criteria established for general admission. All necessary ESE services and related services must be available within Pasco eSchool's current model, which includes online delivery for some services, and a clinic model at local schools for other related services-as provided by the Pasco County School district. If comparable services are not available or not appropriate in a full-time online environment, or if Pasco eSchool's team has concerns that a full-time online setting may not be the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) for the student, then other educational options will be discussed during the application process. Please contact our office for more detailed information.

Answer: In order to be eligible for services from the Agency for Persons with Disabilities ("APD"), an individual must have a developmental disability (as defined in section 393.063(12), Florida Statutes), which occurs prior to age 18 and constitutes a substantial handicap that can reasonably be expected to continue indefinitely. Disabilities served by APD include:

Intellectual Disability (Full Scale IQ of 70 or below),

Severe forms of Autism,

Spina Bifida cystica or myelomeningocele,

Cerebral Palsy,

Prader-Willi syndrome,

Down syndrome,

Phelan-McDermid syndrome, or

Individuals between the ages of 3-5 at high risk for a developmental disability.

As part of the application process, APD will request proof of a developmental disability diagnosis. Documentation of a developmental disability may include, but is not limited to school records, testing, or medical records. APD may assist with the provision of a comprehensive assessment if necessary to definitively identify individual conditions or needs. Refer to the link below for more information on eligibility and applying for services.

Only applicants whose domicile is in Florida are eligible for services. Domicile may be established as provided in section 222.17, Florida Statutes. Additionally, applicants must be at least 3 years of age to be determined eligible for services. Examples of documents that may be used as proof of domicile include: Florida Driver's License or ID Card, Florida's Voter Registration Card, Florida's Court Filed Declaration of Domicile, Homestead exemption filing, mortgage or lease agreement, or employment/school records.

If you have the proof of eligibility that you can provide with your application, it will streamline the eligibility review process. Otherwise, APD will assist you in obtaining the information.

Application for services may be accepted from a parent or court-appointed guardian of a minor child, a legally competent adult, or an authorized legal representative. For applicants under 18 years of age, the person's legal representative must sign the application for APD services. If the applicant is 18 years of age or older, he or she must sign the application and all necessary documents unless he has been determined incapacitated by a court of law or unless he has asked another person to exercise his rights (in writing). An adult who is unable to sign may mark the signature line. The mark shall be identified and witnessed as "his/her mark."

Gift cards for good.

We collect donations of gift cards for essentials like groceries and clothing, and match them to people who are on the brink of financial duress.
Request Donate

Why gift cards?

Gift cards provide those in need with the choice and flexibility of cash support, but also give donors added transparency and assurance that funds will be used for essentials. And with Gift Card Bank's technology-driven distribution platform, we can get gift cards in the hands of those in need within 3 days of receiving donations, whereas most charities take months for donations to actually reach the intended recipients.

$3 Billion in gift cards expire & go to waste every year

Donate your spare gift cards in 90 seconds and help us provide vital support to vulnerable families who have been most affected by the COVID pandemic.

Donate a Gift Card

Don't have a gift card? You can still help!

1

We convert your cash donations into gift cards at a 5-15% discount. For example, a $50 donation may translate into a $55 gift card to Target.

2

People and families in need of a little extra help apply for support. We rigorously validate need to ensure gift cards go to the right people.

3

Recipients are matched with gift cards as quickly as within 3 days, and can use them instantly to purchase food and essentials.

The value of your donation

Your donation goes to mothers like Shannon in Texas.

"I received the $100 Kroger gift card that you sent for me and my son! I wanted to thank you. Last month, I actually ran out of food stamps and didn't have anything left for groceries. Thanks to your gift card, I was able to buy food for the week. I am truly grateful."

Our impact

Since our founding we have raised and distributed over $6,500,000 in gift card value, which translates to 2.6 million meals for struggling Americans. Our national distribution network allows us to quickly reach those in need across the country. We plan to further scale our impact in 2021.

A little more about us

Our mission is to improve well-being and financial security by supporting people through their time of greatest need.

Gift Card Bank is a purely philanthropic initiative, started by a team of Stanford students and social entrepreneurs in response to the COVID-19 crisis. We are fortunate to have an Advisory Board that includes veterans of the financial services industry and current / former C-suite executives at prominent technology and impact-focused companies.

Wait, I'm confused, are you AMBUCS or Amtryke? And those are very strange names, BTW. Yeah, we hear that a lot. When you've been around since 1922, you're bound to pick up lots of 'character' along the way.

AMBUCS began life as American Business Clubs, a membership organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities. As our model changed to a more standard 501c3 charitable organization, that name no longer described us. So, in 1961, we shortened it to AMBUCS (pronounced AM-BUCKS). It's weird but so are we, so it fits.

In the mid-1990s we started making and giving away therapeutic tricycles as a national project. Just to keep everyone confused we called both the trykes and the company that makes them, Amtryke. Amtryke, LLC is fully owned by National AMBUCS, Inc.

AMBUCS now has more than 5,000 members in more than 150 chapters in over 30 states. Our members work on a grassroots level to fulfill our mission, Inspiring Mobility & Independence. The Amtryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program is one of the main ways we do that. Our members fundraise for and give away about 3,500 Amtrykes each year.

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel gives an overview of the Emergency Broadband Benefit.

Consumer Alert: An imposter website was falsely offering enrollment in the Emergency Broadband Benefit and collecting consumers' personal information.
Important Emergency Broadband Benefit Program Updates
Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program, a new long-term, $14 billion program, to replace the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. This investment in broadband affordability will help ensure we can afford the connections we need for work, school, health care and more for a long time.
Households enrolled in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program as of 12/31/21 will continue to receive their current monthly benefit during a 60-day transition period.
What's changing?

The maximum monthly benefit will change from $50 per month to $30 per month for households not located on qualifying Tribal lands. The monthly benefit will remain at $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.

Households have new ways to qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program such as: receiving WIC benefits or having an income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Households that qualified for the Emergency Broadband Benefit due to a substantial loss of income as a result of a job loss or furlough since February 29, 2020, or by meeting the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's COVID-19 program, will need to requalify for the Affordable Connectivity Program. These households will receive additional details about the steps they need to take from the program administrator (USAC) or their internet service provider, in January 2022, and will be given at least 30 days to respond. They will continue to receive their full Emergency Broadband Benefit until March 1, 2022.

Most Emergency Broadband Benefit households will not have to take any action to continue receiving the new $30 monthly benefit after the transition period ends on March 1, 2022. If your out-of-pocket costs will increase as a result of the reduced monthly benefit amount, your service provider will contact you to let you know if you need to take any additional steps in order to continue receiving the Affordable Connectivity Program benefit.

Households located on qualifying Tribal lands will continue to receive a $75 monthly benefit and will not need to take any action to continue receiving the Affordable Connectivity Program benefit.
After the transition period ends on March 1, 2022, the monthly discount for all legacy EBB participants not located on qualifying Tribal lands will be reduced to $30. Contact your provider If you are concerned about a possible increase in your monthly service bill or are interested in changing to a different service plan.
Have questions about the transition from the Emergency Broadband Benefit to the Affordable Connectivity Program? Check out the Emergency Broadband Benefit FAQ for more information.

About the Emergency Broadband Benefit

The Emergency Broadband Benefit is an FCC program to help families and households struggling to afford internet service during the COVID-19 pandemic. This new benefit will connect eligible households to jobs, critical healthcare services, virtual classrooms, and so much more.

The Emergency Broadband Benefit will provide a discount of up to $50 per month towards broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.

The Emergency Broadband Benefit is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.

Who Is Eligible for the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program?

A household is eligible if a member of the household meets one of the criteria below:

Has an income that is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, or Lifeline;

Approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision in the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school year;

Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year;

Experienced a substantial loss of income due to job loss or furlough since February 29, 2020 and the household had a total income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers and $198,000 for joint filers; or

Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's existing low-income or COVID-19 program.

The Affordable Connectivity Program replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit on December 31, 2021. Looking to enroll in the ACP? Apply now at AffordableConnectivity.gov.

Learn more about the Affordable Connectivity Program by visiting fcc.gov/ACP.

Benefit Transfers

Emergency Broadband Benefit recipients can transfer their monthly benefit to a new participating service provider at any time. To move your benefit to a different provider, simply contact the new provider and ask that they transfer your benefit. You do not need to cancel the benefit, or your service, with your current benefit provider before requesting the transfer.

The Family Café has created this Advocacy Toolkit as a guide and informational tool for individuals with disabilities and their families who would like to take control of their futures by getting involved in the legislative process through advocacy. This guide will help walk you through the advocacy process and answer some of the questions you might have about it. So that we can make this toolkit as helpful and effective as possible, please provide us with your feedback!

First, let us tell you a little bit about advocacy and why it's so important.

What is Advocacy? The definition of advocacy is any act supporting a cause, including recommending, speaking in favor of, arguing for, or pleading on behalf of others. Advocacy helps to make sure that your voice is heard and your opinion is considered when decisions are being made that affect you. Advocates are a big part of the decision-making process.

Why Advocate? There are many reasons why advocacy is necessary. As mentioned, it allows your voice to be heard on issues that are important to you. Advocacy enables you to be a part of the decision-making process by educating lawmakers on these issues through the sharing of your personal perspectives and experiences. You can be a part of the creation of change, and your next opportunity is during the upcoming Legislative Session!

See a short video on advocacy here: https://youtu.be/0F_PxzLIIzQ
When is the appropriate time for me to advocate?
You can visit your local legislator throughout the year, but Legislative Session is the time period when new laws are created or existing laws are changed. It is best to visit your legislator before Session begins, and then follow up with a call, email, letter, or visit again during Session in Tallahassee.

Interim Committees are committees authorized to study particular subjects before Regular Legislative Session begins. These weeks are basically a jump-start on the Regular Legislative Session and most legislation is filed during these weeks. In an election year, Committee Weeks don't start until after the election in December. In a non-election year, these weeks can start as early as September.
What is Legislative Session?
Legislative Session is a period of time in which a Legislature is convened for the purpose of lawmaking. The Legislature is made of people who can create, amend, or repeal laws. These people are either part of the House of Representatives or the Senate, and they represent different parts of the state, also known as districts.
Who do I see to advocate and where do I find them?
Advocacy needs to start with the legislator that represents the district you live in. Each district has a Representative and Senator with a local office. The links below will allow you to enter your address to find out which legislators represent your area. Each legislator will have a local office and a Tallahassee office address listed. You'll want to start with the local address before advocating in Tallahassee during the Legislative Session.

To find your local senator, click the following link: www.flsenate.gov

To find your local representative, click the following link: www.myfloridahouse.gov
How does the advocacy process work?
Basic advocacy can be broken down into a few steps. These steps are as follows:

Identification of key issues and goal-setting

Understanding of, and familiarization with, the identified issues

Development of a persuasive argument

Outreach to and engagement of the appropriate audience: in most cases, elected officials

Follow-up and monitoring of the movement of your issue after your initial argument is made

How do I develop my argument?
Development of a persuasive argument is key in the advocacy process. In order to develop your argument, you first need to identify the issue(s) you want to discuss. This usually occurs through your own personal experience and/or the experiences of your peers. Make sure that your issue is thoroughly researched so that you can explain cause and effect, how it affects you personally, and the approximate number of people affected by your issue. The higher number of affected people, the more likely your issue will gain some traction. Any additional historical information on the issue is helpful, like how people have been affected over the years, the progression of your issue over time, and what the current law is. And finally, possible solutions that you would like to be considered need to be included and explained.

A lot of the information you obtained during the research process should be compiled and used in the preparation of your argument as mentioned above. Put your argument in writing and bullet-point the key points you want to make. Be sure and keep your supporting documentation on-hand. Ideally, your argument should be accepted and in line with the opinions of your peers, because their encouragement and support will be essential to your advocacy success. Use your stories and testimony, as well as those of the people you are speaking on behalf of, to make your argument personal. Should your argument put another group at a disadvantage, be prepared for push-back.
Important legislation to remember
Advocacy has resulted in the passage of landmark legislation affecting the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families over the years. Basic human and civil rights, abuse protection, and physical and social barriers have been addressed through life-altering legislation that has greatly improved lives of over 5 million people. Some of that legislation is described below.

The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was signed into law on December 19, 2014 by President Obama. This legislation provides supplemental benefits to those provided by private insurance, Medicaid, the SSI program, employment, and other sources. This bill amends Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986 and creates tax-advantaged savings accounts for individuals with disabilities to cover qualified disability-related expenses. Some examples of those expenses are housing, transportation, and education. Florida became the largest state to enact the ABLE Act when Governor Scott signed Senate Bill 642 into law in 2015.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990 and is the most inclusive piece of legislation protecting individuals with disabilities. It is broken down into the following sections:

Title I - Employment

Helps people with disabilities access the same employment opportunities and benefits available to people without disabilities.

Applies to employers with 15 or more employees.

Requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants or employees. A "reasonable accommodation" is a change that accommodates employees with disabilities so they can do the job without causing the employer "undue hardship" (too much difficulty or expense).

Defines disability, establishes guidelines for the reasonable accommodation process, and addresses medical examinations and inquiries.

Title II - Public Services: State and Local Government

Prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by "public entities" such as state and local government agencies.

Requires public entities to make their programs, services, and activities accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Outlines requirements for self-evaluation and planning; making reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures where necessary to avoid discrimination; identifying architectural barriers; and communicating effectively with people with hearing, vision, and speech disabilities.

Title III - Public Accommodations and Services Operated by Private Entities

Prohibits places of public accommodation from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. Public accommodations include privately owned, leased or operated facilities like hotels, restaurants, retail merchants, doctor's offices, golf courses, private schools, day care centers, health clubs, sports stadiums, movie theaters, and so on.

Sets the minimum standards for accessibility for alterations and new construction of commercial facilities and privately owned public accommodations. It also requires public accommodations to remove barriers in existing buildings where it is easy to do so without much difficulty or expense.

Directs businesses to make "reasonable modifications" to their usual ways of doing things when serving people with disabilities.

Requires that businesses take steps necessary to communicate effectively with customers with vision, hearing, and speech disabilities.

Title IV - Telecommunications

Requires telephone and Internet companies to provide a nationwide system of interstate and intrastate telecommunications relay services that allows individuals with hearing or speech disabilities to communicate over the telephone.

Requires closed captioning of federally funded public service announcements.

Let your voice be heard
In conclusion, it's important to make very few assumptions about what legislators know, how they will vote, and the motivation for bills being filed and discussed. Remember, yesterday's opponent is very often tomorrow's champion. It is both critical and HELPFUL for those of us who are living through the day-to-day realities of disability that we speak up. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly with any questions or concerns.

Funded by the Administration for Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, State Lifespan Respite Programs or Projects are run by a designated state government lead agency, which works in collaboration with a state respite coalition and an Aging and Disability Resource Center Program/No Wrong Door System.

Since 2009, thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia have received Lifespan Respite grants from ACL.

Caring for Those We Love

In every community across the State of Florida, family members are becoming caregivers for their loved ones. Family caregivers provide care in the home to a person of any age who has a special need, disability, or chronic illness. Respite gives caregivers the break they need to refresh them physically, mentally, and emotionally, so that they can continue to provide great care. The Florida Lifespan Respite Alliance works to make respite resources more available and accessible to caregivers of all ages in Florida.
