These services are provided to
individuals who live with
someone meeting the definition of family, or are provided
to children in the custody of
SRS residing in a setting that
does not meet the definition of family. Family is defined as
any
person immediately related to the beneficiary of
services.
(Parents, adoptive parents, grand-parents,
spouses, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, first cousins
and any
step-family relationships)
The primary purpose of Sleep Cycle Support is to give
overnight
assistance to recipients living with a person who
meets the definition of family in case of emergencies
or
to assist with repositioning.
A Sleep Cycle Support attendant is ready to call a doctor,
hospital, or provide other assistance if an emergency
occurs. The attendant must be
immediately available, but
can sleep when not needed.
