Respite Care Services

The Mississippi government authority is seeking a vendor to provide statewide non-medical respite care services for children with chronic, complex, or special health care needs. The agency intends to improve systems of care, expand service access, and establish consistent standards for respite service delivery across the state. This initiative aims to support caregivers in maintaining their roles, reducing burnout, and improving the overall quality of life and stability for these families. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to deliver short-term relief to caregivers in the participant's home or community setting. Personnel must assist with routine, non-skilled care needs and engage children in safe, age-appropriate activities. The designated provider must also deliver short-term supervision to ensure the safety and well-being of the children during the service period. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposal submissions to determine the budget.
