Questions Cleveland families ask

What is respite care and how do I access it in the Cleveland area?

Ohio's PASSPORT waiver covers some respite services for eligible participants, and the Area Agency on Aging serving your county, Western Reserve or Direction Home Akron Canton, can help identify local respite options and any available funding.
