What is Respite Care?

Respite care is known in some countries as “short break” care. Respite services provide planned short-term breaks for families and other unpaid caregivers who need time away from home or simply a rest. Respite care helps support and maintain the primary caregiving relationship.

What Kind of Respite Care Services Can We Provide?

We know you invest a vast portion of your time caring for your loved one, but doing so can wear you down. Our respite care includes a skilled professional caregiver who can help with a variety of homemaking and personal care tasks and give you a little time off.

• Light housekeeping
• Meal preparation
• Grocery shopping and running errands
• Assistance with personal hygiene such as bathing, dressing, and toileting
