The Wisconsin Respite Survey is an online survey of caregivers, care recipients, respite providers, and agencies.  THE SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED - Stay tuned for the results in June 2023.

 

 

THE GOAL:  Expand the availability of respite services to families who need them.

 

The 2022 Workplan Key Activity:  Assist with the dissemination of a comprehensive Wisconsin Respite Survey.

 

The Wisconsin Respite Survey is an online survey of caregivers, care recipients, respite providers, and agencies. The survey is being conducted in partnership with the Marquette University College of Nursing, and the Respite Care Association of Wisconsin.

 

The purpose of the survey is to:  
1. Assess and understand the current state of respite in Wisconsin by understanding who is receiving respite, who is providing respite, and how agencies provide respite.    
2. Understand the availability and access to receiving respite. 
3. Understand the respite care workforce.  
4. Understand how respite is used, and what outcomes respite provides.
