Kitsap Applied Technologies offers a facilities-based respite program that provides services designed to promote skill acquisition and social interaction. We believe Respite can be more than just recreation. Contact us and find out how we can help promote learning and recreation for your loved one while giving you a break to recharge and attend to the other things you need done. KAT’s Respite Program provides temporary direct care and supervision in a safe facility-based environment. The service is designed to help meet the needs of the primary caregiver as well as the served individual. Program activates include: Communication Skills Building; Social Skills Building; Physical Exercise; and Multi-Media Appreciation. Our services are designed to be individualistic and keyed to the particular needs of those served. We provide respite services to individuals twice a week from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Additional times can be prearranged with K.A.T. by calling Mark Jones at 360-377-5454 x 103. Our Respite program provides a brief span of free time for the care givers to spend some quality time alone to recharge their "care-giving batteries" which run low. The program offers educational opportunities, physical exercise, and socialization skills to the participants. The program emphasis social interaction which helps participants develop their interpersonal skills.
