Respite Care Services Through Alta California Regional Center
Elder Options proudly provides respite care services to individuals and families in El Dorado and Sacramento counties through a Vendor Agreement with Alta California Regional Center (ALTA). Our goal is to offer families the relief and support they need while ensuring their loved ones receive compassionate, high-quality care.
What is Respite Care?
Respite care offers temporary relief to families caring for children or adults with special needs, providing much-needed breaks to reduce stress, restore energy, and maintain balance. Respite care is available at no cost when approved by Alta California Regional Center and can be scheduled regularly or as needed.
Respite services are different for everyone, but care may include:
- One-on-one socialization and interaction.
- Recreational activities and exercise.
- Assistance with developmental and daily life skills.
- Safety supervision and support.
- Meal planning and preparation.
- Bathing and personal care.
- Interactive play and reading.
Why Choose Elder Options for Respite Care?
Elder Options is deeply rooted in the Sacramento community, providing trusted care since 1988 and proudly serving Alta California Regional Center clients since 2002. Our experienced team understands the unique needs of neurodiverse individuals and their families, offering personalized care that promotes well-being and independence.


The Importance of Respite Care
Caring for a neurodiverse child or adult can be both rewarding and demanding. Parents and caregivers often need more frequent or extended breaks to recharge. While no one can replace the love and care you provide, taking time for yourself is essential to maintaining your own well-being. Respite care allows you to step away with confidence, knowing your loved one is in capable hands.
