Respite Ranch

We recognized a need for our families, and created a space for members to stay overnight with their respite hours. 

Home Away
from Home

Civitan’s Respite Ranch is a one of a kind service offering members a ‘home away from home’ experience for a night, a weekend, or longer in a supervised, safe, and comfortable environment-just like home! The Ranch is located only a short distance from Civitan Village, is open 365 days a year and is staffed around the clock by trained, qualified staff for the duration of each member’s stay. The Ranch is primarily a reservation-based service but can also be ‘booked’ for emergencies if space is available. A typical stay at the Respite Ranch involves practicing independent living skills, hosting household social events, and participating in community excursions. All meals, amenities, and bedding is provided for the length of each member’s stay, and state respite hours can be used!
