Wash. Admin. Code § 388-148-1600 - What is respite care?
(1)
Respite care is provided by someone who is approved by the department and is
paid to care for the foster children or provide relief for the foster parents.
If the person provides care in their own home, they must be licensed. A
non-licensed respite care provider caring for a child(ren) in your home must
follow the requirements to become a DLR certified respite provider.
(2) You may arrange respite care to provide
substitute care in your absence, or to support you as part of a child's case
plan. If you use a respite care provider, you should seek prior approval from
the child's DSHS worker or CPA case manager and/or child's tribal ICW case
manager.
