Respite Care Services
What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is a professional care service provided to your loved one on a short-term basis, allowing you to have a break, rest, recharge, or attend to other duties. Sometimes, all you need is extra time to do other things like shopping or household chores while being assured your loved one is well-cared for.
Respite care can fill in that extra time for a few hours a day or even more. You may need a bit of time away to de-stress, take a short vacation, or spend quality time with your children, family, and friends.
Flexibility Designed for You
Respite care is flexible and designed to fill the gaps in the time you need care for your loved one. For example, respite care can range from part of a day to several days or weeks.
Seniors like your loved one can receive this care in several settings, such a adult day centers, at their current home or apartment, assisted living communities, or skilled nursing care communities. This arrangement lets caregivers attend to other responsibilities with assurance that their loved one is safe.

Respite Care Provides
- Time to rest and recharge. Respite care provides a reliable caregiving resource that knows how to handle your loved one’s needs, giving you a much-needed break. It is an opportunity for caregivers to have time to themselves and maintain their sense of identity outside the caregiving role.
- Peace of mind and reduced tension. An older adult who has previously been socially active and suddenly becomes Housebound can quickly become irritable or upset with one family member caregiver. Tensions can mount, making a frustrating situation for everyone involved.
- Domestic help. Caregivers help with simple household chores that older adults may not be able to take on. A caregiver may wash clothing, prepare meals, go grocery shopping, and wash dishes.
- Social interaction. Being with a new person is like having a quick change of scenery. The respite care professional adds valuable social interaction to your loved one’s routine.
- “Testing” senior living environments. Respite care provides a way to check out the community and comfort level in a new environment. When the time comes to move your loved one to another care setting, both of you will be more informed.
