Respite Care
    
Firely Pediatric Services offers short-term, temporary care for the families of our clients. Family members may be hesitant to seek or use respite care or leave a loved one in the care of another. However, there is evidence that caregivers who take a break from the associated stresses of caring for a medically fragile family member are better caregivers in the long term.     
     
Firely Pediatric Services families can leave their medically fragile child in one of our residential homes located in Lehigh, Montgomery, and Bradford counties. Currently, all respite care is funded through the FIRELY FOUNDATION which is described in more detail below. This funding from the foundation allows for NO cost to our families! Another Respite Care option is our camp programs which run over the summer months. The camp program is also described in more detail below.

The Firely Foundation

The Firely Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 founded by Marty and Holly Firely. The Firely Foundation raises funds to help offset costs associated with raising a medically fragile child. The following programs are funded by The Firely Foundation:

• "Camp for Kids"- a specially designed camp for medically fragile children
• Respite Care- funds raised for families with medically fragile children
• Residential Services- offset associated costs for medically fragile children living in one our 24 hour homes.
