Statewide · multi-county
Wyoming respite — the Family Caregiver Support Program and waiver services
Wyoming has the least organized respite provision of any state we have surveyed, so the honest answer is short. The Department of Health's National Family Caregiver Support Program funds respite alongside training and support groups, and the Wyoming Home Services program and HCBS waivers cover community supports for people who need them at home. The ADRC is the practical starting point.
Wyoming's waiver waits are short by national standards — one to three years — so waiver respite is a more realistic route here than in most states. Start with the Supports Waiver application.

ARCH National Respite Locator

Before you pay out of pocket, check what your state's Medicaid waiver funds — respite is covered by nearly every state waiver, and many families never think to ask.
Most states run one
Your state's Lifespan Respite Care Program
Lifespan Respite Care Programs are federally seeded, state-run programs that help families of any age and any disability find and pay for respite — often including vouchers or subsidies that do not depend on having a Medicaid waiver. Most states have one, they are chronically under-used, and they are rarely mentioned by anyone else in the system.

Week-long camps hosted nationwide
iCan Shine (iCan Bike)

Camps are hosted by local organizations across the country, so availability is by host town rather than by chapter.
