What Is Respite Care?
Family caregivers are the backbone of home care in America, but burnout is a serious and common problem. Respite care provides temporary relief for family caregivers by sending a professional caregiver to take over for a scheduled period — whether a few hours for a personal appointment, a weekend away, or a longer vacation. Our respite care services include all levels of care: companion, personal, dementia, Alzheimer’s, overnight, and 24-hour. The transition is seamless — our RN ensures the respite caregiver is fully briefed on the client’s routine, medications, and preferences. Learn more from the Family Caregiver Alliance.
