Respite care: time for you, peace of mind for them

Caring for someone with dementia is exhausting, and burnout helps no one. Respite care gives you dependable time off with a caregiver you trust, whether that is a regular afternoon, an overnight, or a week while you travel.

What could a little support change?

See how home care could fit into the moments that matter to your family.

A little breathing room to be yourself again.

There is an appointment to get to, work to catch up on, or simply a need for an afternoon off. Caring for someone can leave very little time to recharge.

What support could look like

Respite care can cover agreed routines, companionship and meal preparation while you take a break. We discuss the tasks, timing and available coverage before making arrangements.

Support for your loved one, and for you.

How we handle your information

Respite care FAQ

Is there a minimum number of hours for respite care?

We will build a schedule around what your family needs. Ask your care advisor about scheduling during your free consultation.

What actually happens on the first call?

Tell us what a typical day looks like, what has become difficult, and when you need support. We will ask where your loved one lives, what hours you have in mind, and how best to reach you. You do not need a finished care plan or a diagnosis in hand to start the conversation. The next step is an assessment and a discussion of options, without an obligation to begin care.

Is home care the same as home health or a memory care community?

They provide different kinds of support. Home care helps with everyday routines, personal care and companionship in a person’s home. Home health may include clinician-ordered nursing or therapy. A memory care community provides residential support. We can discuss the daily tasks you need help with; a clinician should advise on medical needs and the level of supervision required.

How do we know whether it is time to bring someone in?

Start with the situations that worry you: meals being missed, difficulty with bathing or dressing, getting lost, nighttime interruptions, or a family caregiver who cannot keep up. Write down when those things happen and what help is missing. You can speak with us before there is a crisis. A sudden change in health or confusion should be discussed promptly with a healthcare professional.

Same home. More good days.

Give your loved one the comfort of home, and give yourself some peace of mind.
