Respite Care is a temporary, yet 24-hour care that is offered to provide a safe and healthy environment for a person who is unable to be left alone.

Respite Care provides a much-needed break for the family or care-giver and is utilized for a number of reasons,

› Business Travel or to accompany a spouse on business travel
› Vacations
› Out-of-town family emergencies
› Spouse or caregiver surgery
› To reduce caregiver stress
› To try out nursing home placement

Respite Care services include room and board, all meals and snacks (with attention to any dietary considerations), participation in all activities, daily room cleaning, showers, laundry, 24-hour nursing services and administration of medications, which may be brought from home.

Respite Care is flexible to meet many needs. Respite Care can be for as little as 3 days or as many as 14 days. Extended Respite Care can be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
