Non-medical home care
Respite Care
Non-medical support at home so family caregivers can take time to rest and recharge.
Caring for someone you love is meaningful, and it can also be exhausting. Respite support means a caring, trusted person spends time with your loved one at home, so family caregivers can step away to work, rest or take care of themselves.
What’s included
Support shaped around your loved one.
Every task is discussed with your family first and written into the care plan, so expectations are clear and your loved one’s preferences are respected.
- Time with your loved one while family caregivers step away
- The same non-medical services described on this site, as agreed in the care plan
- Companionship, meals and daily routines kept consistent
- A clear handoff so you know how the time went
- We can also discuss errands or appointment escorts when appropriate
