?Respite care is short-term relief for in-home hospice caregivers. Medicare benefits pay for patient transport and up to five consecutive days of inpatient care at a Medicare-approved nursing facility or hospital. You can get respite care more than once, but only on an occasional basis.

Hospice respite care enables the caregiver to rest and recover from the demands of daily in-home care. Respite care is also appropriate when a patient’s medical condition warrants a short-term inpatient stay for pain or other symptoms that cannot be managed at home.

Building Brighter Communities works to provide food and other necessities like toothbrushes and toothpaste to people who lack access to them either to financial or mobility barriers. We partner with other organizations that can provide food resources when possible and we make emergency grocery runs when necessary. We assist community members with applying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program for those who are eligible. We connect individuals with other long-term food assistance programs who are not eligible for government assistance.

 Many government and nonprofit programs offer rent and utility assistance that a lot of people qualify for.

Building Brighter Communities is bringing access to these rent and utility assistance programs to members of our community who wouldn’t otherwise have been alerted to it or have access to it. Not only do we help identify programs an individual or family will be eligible for but we will also assist with the paperwork for signing up with these programs.

Building Brighter Communities connects people with (often FREE) training programs that will help them secure good-paying jobs in the short term while preparing them for the workplace of the future.

We also help individuals develop resumes that will stand out in the job market.

We also connect local businesses that are hiring with community members who are eager to find work.
