Yes — Autumn’s Gift Respite Care currently operates on a membership-based model. This approach allows us to offer families consistent, personalized support and access to our full range of boutique programs.

Membership ensures priority registration, tailored experiences, and the ability to build strong, lasting relationships with the individuals we serve. It also helps us maintain our signature small-group setting, which is essential to providing the high-quality, attentive care AGRC is known for.

By becoming a member, families are joining a community rooted in trust, inclusion, and meaningful connection.

The first step to becoming a member of Autumn’s Gift Respite Care is to schedule a consultation with our Director. This one-on-one meeting gives us a chance to learn about your family, understand your loved one’s unique needs, and explore how our programs can provide the best support.

Following the consultation, we’ll walk you through the simple membership application process and answer any questions you may have along the way.

You can book your consultation directly through our website or reach out via phone, email, or social media. We’re here to make every step of the journey smooth, supportive, and welcoming from the start.
