Wyoming respite — the Family Caregiver Support Program and waiver services
Statewide, WY · serves several counties
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.
