This article describes innovative approaches to family respite for family members of elderly participants in the Ohio HCBS (Home and Community Based Services) waiver programme—individuals who are, by definition, financially and functionally eligible to be served in nursing homes. The article provides an overview of the programme—who it serves and how, and with what results, and also offers case studies of how this programme has made continuing HCBS possible for older adult HCBS waiver clientele.
