Overnight Respite for Adults

 
 

An overnight stay in our home-like facility provides participants with the opportunity to socialize with peers and build independence, and gives parents and guardians the chance to take a break and tend to the health and well-being of themselves and the entire family.

Adult respite services are provided at our Easton respite facility, which features four bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a fitness and recreation room, a library and resource room, and more. HOPe serves over 300 families annually from 60+ communities across Massachusetts.
