Family Respite Services is committed to providing respite for children wherever possible in their own home or in the community.  However, some families and children require a more structured setting to provide out of home respite.  FRS operates two staffed respite homes for this purpose.  These two homes provide out of home respite care in a "staff model" setting, located in homes in the community.  The first program is known as Weekend With Friends.  It is located at 4360 Howard Avenue. Children come and stay at the home for a weekend on a regular basis.
