Yes, we accept DDA Respite Funding. However, you need to contact your DDA caseworker first.

During the Parent Night Out, other family members will have a separate activity at Tierra Retreat Center where Tierra staff and volunteers will be present to provide support.   Please ask your DDA caseworker if you have respite money and if it can go towards the three-hour activity. Tierra Village will bill for those services when your DDA caseworker puts an authorization into the Provider One system.   Contact retreat@tierravillage.org for additional questions.
