In-Home Respite Care
In-home services can be provided by volunteer or paid help, either occasionally as needed or on a regular basis. Services may last from a few hours to overnight, and may be arranged directly or through an agency. This popular respite choice enables your loved one to remain in their own home while they continue to receive care, and can be invaluable for you as the primary caregiver.
​
Volunteers may be available from faith-based, community, and other non-profit organizations.
Trained staff from home-care businesses are available to cover short periods of in-home care.
Personal care providers can assist with daily living skills such as bathing, dressing, or feeding.
