Respite Services HRSA/HAB Category Definition: Respite care is the provision of community or home-based, non-medical assistance designed to relieve the primary caregiver responsible for providing day-to-day care of a client with HIV/AIDS. Source: Definition provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). 2009. Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 Definitions for Eligible Services. Rockville, Md.: HRSA HAB, August 20, 2009. Category Notes: Clarifications Respite Care is an allowable support service under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. Funds may be used for periodic respite care in community or home-based settings that includes non-medical assistance designed to provide care for an HIV infected client in order to relieve the primary caregiver who is responsible for the day-to-day care of an adult or minor living with HIV/AIDS. In those cases where funds are allocated for home-based respite care, such allocations should be carefully monitored to assure compliance with the prohibition on direct payments to eligible individuals. Such arrangements may also raise liability issues for the funding source which should be carefully weighed in the decision making process. The following clarification was distributed by HRSA on April 8, 2010 (HRSA 2010). Recreational and Social Activities Funds awarded under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program may be used for recreational and social activities as part of a Child Care or Respite Care support service provided in a licensed or certified provider setting, including drop-in centers in primary care or satellite facilities. Funds should not be used for off-premise social/recreational activities or to pay for a client’s gym membership.
