Resource Details: The Models of Medical Respite Care were established by the National Institute for Medical Respite Care (NIMRC) in response to the need for programs and policy makers to have clearer guidance on what constitutes medical respite care. Each MRC program’s services are developed in response to the needs of the community and consumers, thus variability is expected. However, each program should include the same key components, and align their service delivery with one of the Models of Care.
