Respite Care Center



A GOAL OF HEARTLAND RANCH AND ARENA IS RESPITE CARE

Short term respite care in a new state-of-the-art facility with the latest security, meeting all guidelines for state and federal governments to help those families dealing daily with the stress of those with cognitive and developmental disabilities.  A live-in administrator will oversee compliance, secure interns, and secure the services and waivers for the clients.  The facility has four client bedrooms and will be on a first-come, first-serve basis, with one bedroom reserved for emergency placement. We understand the number one need in our area is for quality respite care that stimulates and ministers to the needs of the DD population. Although a "facility", it is de signed with a "homelike atmosphere" and will be like a trip to Grandma's house, where the children will receive care as much like they do at home as is humanly possible to give. For those who are severely disabled, we have a monorail system to move clients from the covered carport to the great room, their bedroom, the shower area, the dining area and into the Snozelen Room. Our Medical Administrator, Dr. Henry Baughman, MD of Promise Pediatrics in Ringgold, will oversee all care and administration of medications to our clients. Our security system, similar to "Nanny Cam" will be available to parents or caregivers to "check-in" on their loved one. We also plan to use our facility to have seminars to educate parents and offer support for them.

—Lookout Mountain Community Service that services Region 1 (16 counties) of north Georgia says:  “the number one call to their office is for RESPITE CARE.

It is devastating to families when their TIME & ENERGY is concentrated on one family member  with a serious disability.  Other children become angry & rebellious in a high percentage of cases. 80% of these families end in divorce and slide into poverty.


This was the first concept of the Respite Care Lodge at Heartland Ranch.  While it will looks like this on the outside some major changes have been done to make it more disability friendly and safe for the children and to have room for staff on the inside.  This has brought costs up to $640,000.  A capital campaign will be started in the next months to cover costs of building the Lodge.

THE RESPITE CARE LODGE WILL HAVE A SNOEZELEN ROOM.
