  • Respite Care Provider (Employee of the Household Employer) Information

  • SCRC must ensure that ALL Respite Care Providers have completed the Medicaid Requirements before referring them to Morning Sun. 

    If the Respite Care Provider is an existing provider for Participant Directed Respite or other services, please wait for confirmation from SCRC. SCRC will notify you if the Respite Care Provider is active and eligible to provide Respite for this consumer. 

  • A Respite Care Provider DOES NOT meet the minimum requirements, please do not submit this form.

  • NOTE: The Respite Care Provider must have their own email address to complete the screening and training process. They cannot use the Household Employer's email address. 

    Please remind them to check their emails regularly to receive the most recent updates from SCRC. 

  • Household Employer (Responsible Party) Information

  • The Household Employer Training Module is mandatory for all Household Employers.

    If the Household Employer has an email address, SCRC will provide the training module information once Respite Care Provider has completed their screening and training. 

    If the Household Employer does not have an email address, please provide a copy of the Participant Directed Respite Handbook to them for review. This handbook explains the process, defines their role as the Household Employer and gives insight on the other roles participating in the process.
