Changes to Overnight Planned Respite Services

We are excited to introduce our newest contracted overnight planned respite services provider in Southwest WA. Starting Feb. 1, 2021, Northwest Supported Living will begin providing overnight planned respite services in Olympia (two beds) and Vancouver (one bed).

For clients who have received respite services in these areas previously, please note that the location of these beds have not changed – only the provider. All three respite beds will begin accepting referrals on Jan. 25, 2021 for a service start date on or after Feb. 1, 2021.

If you are interested in requesting overnight planned respite services, please work with your Case Resource Manager assigned to the client who is eligible for these services. They will help submit a referral for your requested location and dates.
