Ribbon Cutting & Ground Breaking for New Playground: Respite Care of San Antonio
Respite Care of San Antonio
Respite Care of San Antonio (RCSA) offers unique community-based and residential services to care for children with special needs. RCSA’s Davidson and Najim 24/7 emergency residential homes are the only licensed emergency residences in Texas dedicated to caring for children with developmental disabilities and complex medical conditions who are in protective custody due to child abuse. In these 24/7 emergency homes, RCSA’s caregivers teach essential life skills and create a nurturing environment that helps children heal from the trauma of abuse.
In 2006, RCSA became a licensed foster care placement agency to address the increased risk of child abuse for children with special needs who are up to four times more likely to be victims of abuse. RCSA successfully transitions children with special needs and medical conditions from temporary custody to a stable, home-like environment through placement with one of RCSA’s foster families. Respite Care provides housing assistance, training, and support for prospective foster parents so that they are better prepared to help children with special needs overcome the consequences of abuse and neglect.
RCSA continues to be a safety net in the San Antonio community for families dealing with the stress of caring for a child with special needs and complex medical conditions. RCSA’s unique services are not available elsewhere. Full-time nursing care is available on-site at RCSA’s preschool, making it possible to care for children requiring daily medical attention. Low-cost respite sessions and full-time preschool help reduce parents’ stress, lessen the financial burden of caregiving, promote the optimal growth and development of children, and prevent child abuse and neglect.
