What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is temporary relief care services for family caregivers. It is designed to reduce caregiver burnout by allowing family members to take breaks from caregiving. Your loved one will stay in a comfortable, spacious private suite that offers all the amenities of home. This allows you and other family members to take the time needed to look after your own physical, mental, and social needs.

Benefits of Respite Care, & Who Should Consider the Service

Without respite care, family caregivers are more likely to experience caregiver burnout. This could lead to a decline in care for elderly loved ones and even compromise their safety and health. In order to ensure the health of everyone in the family, it’s important to take breaks regularly. You should consider respite care if you need time to manage a work project, go on a trip, take care of your own medical needs, relax and decompress, manage houseguests or holiday visitors, or if you just need a break from caregiving tasks. The benefits of respite care are:

  • Reduces the risk of caregiver stress and burnout
  • Improve mental and physical health
  • Allows time for work, hobbies, recreation, and personal time
  • Supports a more balanced life and a healthier family relationship
  • Protects elderly loved ones from lapses in care
  • Ensure elderly loved ones are not in danger of isolation or depression
  • Provides a change of pace

Understanding How Respite Care Works

Our skilled, compassionate caregivers offer temporary relief for family caregivers. Your loved one will stay in a fully furnished, private suite that includes a television, furniture, safety features, and other amenities. They can make use of the housekeeping and laundry services we provide and enjoy home-cooked meals in our dining room. They can also take part in the wide range of activities we offer our short- and long-term residents, from games and crafts to movies and field trips. Your loved one will receive personalized care tailored to their needs and abilities, including assistance with the activities of daily living. When their visit is over, you can take them home again and resume your normal caregiving duties.

Exploring Our Respite Care Services

Everyone needs a break now and then. Our respite care services provide temporary, short-term nursing care for a patient while their regular caregiver gets a much-needed break. Caregivers who are able to avail themselves of respite care often find they return to their caregiving routine with renewed energy and reduced stress.

Our Respite Services provide valuable time off for anyone providing care for a family member who is elderly, ill, or unable to live alone. Our caregivers work seamlessly together to deliver quality, individualized care in a serene setting designed with total wellness in mind.

Daily rates for respite care services reflect a fully furnished room, three meals per day, and round-the-clock nursing care. In some cases, Medicare may pay for respite care. See medicare.gov for more information.
