Respite Care At Home

"The staff has been very helpful in the process of establishing in-home care for my 95-year-old mother. Our caregiver has been exceptional, and her attention to my mother and living space has really put me at ease, as I live several states away. When talking with my mother on the phone, it's clear to me how much she thrives on the days that Barbara is there."

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a short-term service that helps families by taking over for them so they can take a break and do something for themselves, like work or relax. Our team is here to help your family deal with the demands of caring for their loved ones while also taking care of other items they need to do. We know you prefer to be there for your senior as much as possible, but it just isn't always possible.

One of the best things about respite care is that it can be used in different ways. If you have a meeting one day and will be gone for a few hours, we can help you find a caregiver to stand in for you.

If you'd like, we can have the same caregiver come out on the same day each week. There are also other choices, like if you'll be gone overnight every so often.

The best thing is that you can be sure that a loving, experienced team member is there to help with senior care. Each plan caters to the client's specific needs and preferences so they'll get the attention they need.

Examples of Respite Care Services

We can help with a wide range of senior care needs. This includes if they’re struggling with dementia, need assistance with basic tasks around their home, or don't want to be alone for long periods of time.

Each client's plan is personalized to their necessities, so we can add as many services as needed. You'll be able to review their plan with us before we begin and have confidence knowing each caregiver will understand what their needs are before we start.

Here are just a few examples of how we can help:

• Encouraging them to participate in social activities
• Driving them to the doctor's office
• Picking up groceries or doing other errands
• Reminding them to take their medicine
• Light cooking or cleaning up the house
• Help with grooming or showering

These are just a few examples, so we encourage you to ask us what else we provide.

The Importance of Client-Caregiver Relationships

We know how important it is for your loved one to trust the caregiver they're paired with. That’s why we take our time matching them with the right person. We'll look at your answers to our questions and consider their personalities and needs.

After that, we'll find a team member to make them feel safe and at ease. Our caregivers have all received thorough training and know how to help with various non-medical issues.
