Helping Caregivers Restore Balance in Their Life
Primary caregivers of individuals with disabilities need a break from time to time to run errands, go on vacation, attend appointments, or simply relax at home. Fourth Avenue Homes helps caregivers by offering out-of-home and in-home respite care for adults and children.
Respite is care provided on a short-term basis for an adult or child who cannot take care of themselves and is taken care of by a family member or friend.

Caregivers Need to Care for Themselves Also
Our services are ideal for caregivers who need a break that they simply cannot get in their day-to-day lives.
The individuals and families we help include:
- Individuals with disabilities who need ongoing care, assistance, and advocacy
- Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Individuals with various mental health issues
- Individuals suffering from a brain injury
You may qualify for our services via Federally approved BI, CAC, CADI, DD or EW waiver plans in the state of Minnesota. These waivers cover in or out-of-home short-term care services for a person or child when a primary caregiver is absent or needs time away.
Visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) website to see if your family meets the broad criteria for our services that may come at a minimal (or zero) cost to you.
