Care for Caregivers of Special Needs Children, with Stacy Georges, Special Needs Respite

Care for Caregivers of Special Needs Children, with Stacy Georges, Special Needs Respite

00:00 /

North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 685)

Stacy Georges, Founder of Special Needs Respite, was the guest on this episode of North Fulton Business Radio discussing the care for caregivers that her nonprofit offers. She talked with host John Ray about the needs of caregivers who have children who need round-the-clock care. Stacy shared stories of families who have benefitted from having care so they can take a break, what happens when parents don’t get a break, adult special needs children, coming events, and more.

North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Special Needs Respite

Respite care is a form of short-term substitute care for children with special needs, be it mental, emotional, or physical, and is provided by someone other than parents or the usual 24/7 caretakers of the child. It gives parents a break from their exhausting job.

As a group, parents of special needs children are more stressed, and even more at risk for divorce, or worse. Also, according to ARCH National Respite network, three-fifths of family caregivers age 19-64 surveyed recently by the Commonwealth Fund reported fair or poor health, one or more chronic conditions, or a disability, compared with only one-third of non-caregivers.

Respite is something that parents of special needs children desperately need. Although programs in Georgia exist to help these parents, such as the NOW waiver, there is a very long waiting list and very little money available. Many families, as a result, don’t have funds available for such an essential service, putting a strain on them physically, emotionally, and financially.

Special Needs Respite helps bridge the existing funding gap that many parents have when trying to get childcare for their special needs child. They can provide funds that will pay qualified caregivers to care for these children when no other way to pay is available to the parents.

Stacy Georges, Founder, Special Needs Respite

Stacy Georges has been serving the disability community for 32 Years. The last 15 years have been focused on serving families here in Metro Atlanta. Even in a densely populated area such as Metro Atlanta, there are families isolated and decimated due to their children’s special needs. This results in loss if hope, and frequently ends in murder suicide. These are the families we can give hope.

Stacy holds a B. A. in Therapeutic Recreation from Purdue University. Becoming a parent was her real education with all its challenges, and especially interacting with parents who had even more challenges with children with special needs. Founder of YourRespite special needs child care, Stacy started Special Needs Respite to help meet the needs of even more parents of children living with special needs.

She is available for speaking engagements to churches and civic groups to further the community understanding of how to minister to Special Needs families.

Stacy and her husband, Tom, reside in Roswell, GA.

Lanier’s goal is to support you and those important to you as you live with serious illness.

This means having a doctor who is empathetic, who can dedicate an hour to you (and every patient like you) and utilize evidence-based medicine that isn’t limited to pharmaceuticals. Some examples of support are:

Assistance with advance care planning such as living wills and the designation of decision makers.
Assistance in coordination of care with home care, extended-care facilities, or hospice care.
Anticipatory grief, as well as grief experienced during the patients last days.
