Respite placements will happen on the Placement Screen by choosing Respite in the dropdown for Placement Type and Reason for Move. This wording is configured in Program Settings > Click Program and put into edit mode > Enter wording below in the boxes labeled ‘Placement Type’ and ‘Reason for Move’.
Pro tip: Use wording like ‘To Respite’ and ‘From Respite’ to track if they are leaving or coming back. Respite requires 2 placements. One to the respite location and one from the respite location back into the agency placement.
