  *   expand and enhance respite services in their state;
  *   improve coordination and dissemination of respite services across their state;
  *   streamline access to respite programs;
  *   fill gaps in services, where necessary; and
  *   improve the overall quality of respite services.

The ten states receiving awards are:

  *   Alabama
  *   Arkansas
  *   Colorado
  *   Illinois
  *   Montana
  *   New York
  *   North Dakota
  *   Oklahoma
  *   South Dakota
  *   Virginia

Respite care offers caregivers temporary relief from the daily routine and stress that can come with providing care. Respite can play a critical role in strengthening family stability and maintaining the health of the family caregiver.
