KIT (Knowledge, Ideas, and Tools) for Respite Providers
Our KIT for Respite Providers offers online courses, information sheets, discussion boards, and files to provide you with information on being a respite provider. KIT information will continue to be updated.
This course is for people who are interested in being a respite provider. If you are ready to provide respite care but unsure where to begin, this course is for you!
This information is available in two ways: Video Webinar or Online Training Module.
This course covers what you need to know if you want to be an independent respite provider (not employed by an agency). You will learn about four funding sources and how to become an independent respite provider for each (IRIS, Family Care, CLTS, Private Pay). We will go in-depth on how to become an approved provider for CLTS as a sole proprietor. The last section of this course will discuss some best practices to consider when starting your own business as a sole proprietor.
