Respite Services

Program Goal

To provide families with temporary overnight or weekly services that allows relief for family and caregivers.

As a caregiver, you have many competing responsibilities. Do you ever experience caregiver fatigue? Who do you turn to when your family member has a disability and your regular support system is not equipped to handle the special needs that come with a disability? Who do you turn to when you need a break from caregiver roles? The answer is UCP Heartland. Since 1953, UCP Heartland has been providing individual and family support programs that keep families together.

Oak Tree Respite

A Home Away from Home

Oak Tree Respite assists people living with disabilities and their caregivers, helping to keep families together. We are a leader in disability care and filling a special need for clients.

UCP Heartland’s Oak Tree Respite is a unique program offering a home-away-from-home at our fully staffed house centrally located in Webster Groves. The house features four large themed bedroom suites that include ceiling track, full-body electric Hoyer lift bathrooms. Adults with developmental disabilities receive support and a safe place to stay while caregivers travel, tend to their own personal needs or have an evening alone. Participants in our program schedule a planned or emergency visit including 24-hour support that includes state-of-the-art assistive devices.

Short-Term Respite

Our caring staff offers families temporary relief from the daily stress of caring for a family member living with a disability. The Respite Program offers temporary scheduled care to adults with disabilities. Services are available 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Emergency Residential

Provides safe, 24-hour residential services for adults living with disabilities who require emergency assistance in the absence of their regular care giver.

The residential support offered at UCP Heartland’s Oak Tree promotes a healthy family. Let UCP Heartland be there for YOU and your family.
