Respite Care

Support for caregivers when they need a rest

About This Service

Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things a person can do — and one of the most demanding. Respite care is designed to give family caregivers a temporary break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive skilled, compassionate care. Whether for a few hours or a few days, respite care supports the whole family.

Who It Helps

Respite care is available to family caregivers of hospice patients who need temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities. It is a recognized component of the hospice benefit.

What to Expect

During respite care, a qualified caregiver or care team will provide supervision and support for your loved one. This may occur in the home or in a short-term care facility, depending on the level of care needed.

Care Coordination

Respite care is coordinated through your hospice care plan. Our team will work with your family to arrange appropriate respite support that meets your loved one's needs.

When to Call

If you are a family caregiver who is feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or in need of a break, please reach out. Asking for respite support is an act of love — for yourself and for your loved one.
