Respite care services include light housekeeping, personal hygiene assistance, toileting, socialization, medication reminders, and meal preparation, with each client receiving an individualized care plan.

Activity records may be submitted electronically.

Upon award, the selected provider must list Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners as the certificate holder on its insurance policy and register with the federal System for Award Management (SAM.gov). The grant agreement number for federal funding compliance is AG2211.
