As a respite care provider on the Wisconsin Respite Care Registry, you have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on families across the lifespan. The free registry connects family caregivers with trained providers for in-home or facility-based respite care, creating a direct bridge between those who need support and those who are ready to offer it. Providers benefit from flexible scheduling, meaningful work, diverse experience, professional independence, strong networking opportunities, steady demand, and access to training that strengthens their caregiving skills.
Please note: Completing this request form does not automatically make you active on the registry. RCAW staff review each submission individually to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements, including completion of the National Respite Care Provider Training if applicable.

Please note that the registry is provided as a community service for informational purposes only and is not all-inclusive. Joining our registry as a provider does not create an employer/employee relationship, contractor, subcontractor, or any other contract or affiliation of any kind between a provider and RCAW.
By joining the registry, you agree to hold RCAW harmless, and indemnify RCAW, from any and all claims, causes of action, charges, fines, taxes, costs, or damages that arise from your use of the registry and from your communications with any person or your contracting to provide any services to any person.
RCAW reserves the right to refuse a provider’s request to be listed on the registry or to remove a provider’s existing listing on the registry for any reason not prohibited by prevailing law with or without cause.
RCAW’s listing of a provider in the database does not represent an endorsement, and providers not listed in the database does not constitute a lack of support.
RCAW assumes no responsibility for any claims, causes of action, charges, fines, taxes, costs, or damages arising from the use of the respite care registry.
We do not check the background, references, or any other aspect of the companies and individuals listed here. Respite providers self-report all information disclosed.
