Jill's House

Jill’s House is a Christian nonprofit organization that provides families raising kids with intellectual disabilities with short-term overnight respite care in the DC metro area and around the country. Caring for kids with intellectual disabilities is complex and can feel like a full-time job. Whether due to specific behavioral needs, strict medication regimens, or special equipment that most people have never seen, parents can’t simply call up a babysitter to get a break. That’s where Jill’s House comes in. At Jill’s House, individuals with intellectual disabilities enjoy fun adventures, while their families have a chance to rest. In short, we give parents time. We call this “respite.“
