EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY MEMBER PROGRAM (EFMP) RESPITE CARE

Ages: Birth - 18 yrs

This program is a partnership between the U.S. Navy and Child Care Aware and is specifically designed for Navy families who have children identified as Exceptional Family Members (EFM), category IV or V. This includes exceptional family members whose medical condition requires assignment near major medical facilities in the continental United States, or whose needs are complex and specialized requiring continuity of care.

EFMP Respite Care will help Navy families with children with special needs by providing 40 hours of respite care per month so they can leave the house, go to an appointment, or just rest, while knowing that their child is well cared for.
