Mission: Entering our 15th year, the michael carter lisnow respite center is a place that provides emotional and physical support for individuals with disabilities and their families. Located in hopkinton, massachusetts, the center has served over 200 families and couldn't have done it without the support of many and the inspiration given to us by the life and memory of michael carter lisnow.
Programs: The organization's daycare center serves children from birth to age three and provides out of home respite care for families of children with severe disabilities. The program provides input in the medical decision process, advocates for educational programming, participates in educational goals, cares for siblings, and provides training for grandparents, as well as providing a special place for the families to spend time.
the weekly overnight program allows individuals to spend two days and one night per week at the center. The program is geared towards single mothers and couples that are close to separation, or residential placement.
the monthly respite program allows families to leave their child at the center the first weekend of every month, or every other month. It provides care for children and allows families to rest, knowing that the center is caring for their child during their brief time away.
