  • Respite Care: This service includes the recruitment and training of volunteers and staff for a short period of relief, or respite, for caretakers that are providing care to another individual, usually an elder or disabled individual.

ITCA-AAA provides these services with funds from Title III of the Older Americans Act and state funds.  Each tribal provider offers additional services with supplemental funding from tribal, and other state or federal sources.
