Respite for Foster Families

Foster families are provided respite care of up to 72 hours per month. Respite care can be used for a day or overnight break, or accumulated for longer vacations or other family needs.

Tapestry Family Services is recruiting respite providers from the local community who are interested in working with children with emotional challenges. Being a repite care provider is a great way to get hands-on training and find out if you'd like to be a full-time foster parent. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a respite provider, please email Kelly Clark at kellyc@tapestryfs.org or call (707) 463-3300 ext. 115 for more information.

Respite Care Rates

Respite providers are paid according to how much time they spend with a child.

Children in the Intensive Treatment Foster Care Program require more care and attention, therefore respite providers for Intensive Treatment Foster Care are paid at a higher rate.

To learn more about becoming a respite care provider, we invite you to attend an Orientation Session.
