Respite Care in Abilene, TX and Surrounding Areas

Our respite care services give you a break from caring for seniors so you can rest, recharge, or focus on other important matters.

Caregiving can be a rewarding and bonding experience within a family, yet in even the best situations, the responsibility and ongoing routine of caring for seniors or other loved ones 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, or temporary relief, to those who provide home care for seniors or other family members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home.

What is Respite Care?

Known in some countries as “short break” care, respite services provide planned short-term breaks for families and other unpaid caregivers who are caring for seniors or other adults and need time outside the home or to simply take a rest. Respite services help support and maintain the primary caregiving relationship.

How Comfort Keepers Can Help

Respite care services give you time to take a break from caring for seniors or other loved ones and leave the home 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 home care services 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.
