Comfort Keepers Respite Care At Home in Livermore, CA, and the Surrounding Areas
Comfort Keepers of Livermore proudly provides respite care at home and other services to seniors and adults in Livermore, Antioch, Danville, and Oakley, CA.
Caregiving can be a rewarding and bonding experience within a family, yet in even the best situations; the responsibility and ongoing routine can be stressful and tiring—especially when balanced with a job or caring for children. When family caregivers are emotionally drained, they are likely less effective at playing this critical role. Comfort Keepers® can provide respite care at home or temporary relief to those who care for family members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home.
We are available to assist you by phone 24/7. Contact us at any time. We understand your fears and frustrations and assure you that we can help. Call us today (510) 482-8700.
How Comfort Keepers Can Help
Respite care at home gives you time to leave for a few hours or even a few days, knowing the one you care for is in good hands. This creates time to:
- take care of the errands you never seem to have time for.
- catch up on your shopping.
- attend a support group meeting.
- visit a doctor or dentist for routine care.
- give yourself a much-needed rest.
Comfort Keepers respite services can be scheduled for as little as a few hours a week. Additionally, around-the-clock care can be arranged so you can take a longer break to attend a wedding out of town, take a child to college, or go on a much-needed vacation.
What Are Respite Services?
Known in some countries as “short break” care, respite services provide planned short-term breaks for families and other unpaid caregivers who need time outside the home or to rest. These services also help to support and maintain the primary caregiving relationship.
Benefits of Respite Care At Home
Many family members are eager and willing to help their loved ones who need assistance with daily care. These family members begin their duties with enthusiasm and love that can bring them even closer to the loved one in their care. At times, however, being depended upon for constant care of a loved one can become frustrating and stressful. Instead of becoming closer, the relationship begins to break down because of the overwhelming obligation. This is where professional respite services can help the family give each person what they need to maintain relationships and quality of life.
Respite services benefit both caregiver and care receiver by offering breaks in care that enable the caregiver to be revitalized or attend to other duties. Frustration and stress are evaded, and the loved one receiving care feels better knowing they are not a burden. Professional in-home care allows caregivers to take the time they need for themselves or other responsibilities with the peace of mind that their loved one is in good hands.
Respite services are an ideal way to introduce a new caregiver to your family in preparation for a time when 24-hour care may be needed. With a customized in-home care plan, you may begin with respite care at home for a few hours each week. This time can be increased with everyone in the family already comfortable with your loved one’s professional in-home caregiver.

Costs of not having Comfort Keepers respite care services can include more than added stress. Detrimental effects on the health of both caregivers and seniors in their care are possible when burnout occurs. Caregivers may also spend more money on convenience services for their own families because their caregiving duties wear them out. When considering the costs of respite services, include additional expenses that are being incurred because you do not have the breaks you need.
For peace of mind, good relationships, and optimized quality of life, choose professional respite care at home for your loved one and enjoy your time together. Call (510) 482-8700 or click one of the buttons below to learn more.
