Your respite caregiver will learn your family routine and caregiving needs, and make everyone’s life easier with respite care assistance that makes the most sense for you and your family.
Let us help. Contact us today to talk about your respite care options.
The Basics
When you are taking care of a loved one, make time to care for yourself, too. The emotional and physical stress of care giving can be overwhelming and you may need a break.
What is a caregiver?
A caregiver is someone who helps a family member, friend, or neighbor who is sick or has a disability. An informal or family caregiver often helps a loved one with basic daily tasks.
- You may be a caregiver if you regularly help someone with:
- Grocery shopping
- Housework
- Getting dressed
- Taking and keeping track of medicine
- Medical care, like keeping wounds clean or giving shots
- Cooking food
- Transportation, like car rides to appointments
- Managing services, like talking to doctors or paying bills
About 1 in 3 Americans are caregivers. Most caregivers also have other jobs and spend an average of 24 hours a week caring for a loved one.

- Resources for caregivers
- Services and support groups for caregivers of veterans
- Community-based services for older adults and caregivers – like transportation, meals, and caregiver support programs
