When you’re caring for a loved one, even a few hours of rest can make all the difference. For families in Greater Milwaukee, trusting in our respite care allows our care team to step in with the same care and compassion you give every day.

What Makes Our Respite Care So Effective and Trusted

1. Care That Fits Seamlessly into Your Routine

We take time to understand your loved one’s habits, preferences, and comfort zones. Whether they enjoy morning walks, afternoon puzzles, or a quiet meal at home, our caregivers respect and maintain your routine, so nothing feels unfamiliar or disruptive during your time away.

2. Carefully Matched, Compassionate Caregivers

Every caregiver is chosen not just for their experience, but for their personality and ability to connect. We aim for genuine companionship as well as professional care—someone your loved one looks forward to seeing.

3. Flexible Scheduling That Puts Families First

Whether you need a few hours to run errands, attend an appointment, or simply recharge, our team works around your schedule. No long-term contracts. No pressure. Just the support you need, when you need it.

4. Ongoing Support and Communication

We stay in touch, provide updates, and are always here to adjust the care plan if something changes. That open line of communication gives families confidence that their loved ones are in caring, capable hands.

5. Local Stories That Speak Volumes

Families across Greater Milwaukee have shared how respite care gave them more than just time off; it gave them peace of mind. From spouses of seniors with Alzheimer’s to adult children juggling work and caregiving, their stories reflect the heart of our mission: to be there when it matters most.

6. Flexible Scheduling for Real Life

Whether it’s a sudden hospitalization, travel emergency, or just a long-overdue rest, our team is ready to act quickly. We offer respite care with no weekly minimums, allowing you to request just a few hours or round-the-clock support, depending on your needs.

“We needed to find 24/7 care on very short notice when my dad’s health suddenly declined. Within three hours of my initial call, Colleen Foley was able to meet me at my dad’s apartment. Another three hours later, second shift care began. The wonderful care takers were there with my dad from that time on until he passed peacefully two weeks later. He was treated with kindness and compassion, and knowing he was so well cared for allowed our family to spend quality time visiting with my dad.” — Beth.

Beth’s story speaks to how seriously we take urgent care needs and how quickly we mobilize trusted caregivers to offer comfort, relief, and dignity in the most crucial moments.

7. Compassionate Caregivers Who Step In Seamlessly

We select caregivers who are not only qualified but also naturally warm, attentive, and intuitive to your loved one’s comfort and emotional well-being.

“The staff is so wonderful and made my grandmother feel right at home. They have great communication skills and work in a timely manner. We have never had any issues, and my grandmother LOVES her care worker so much and always looks forward to seeing her! I would definitely recommend and have recommended to many other families and family members.” — Evalisea.

Evalisea’s experience highlights one of the most meaningful aspects of respite care: the joy of connection. When seniors truly enjoy their caregiver’s company, it doesn’t feel like a replacement.

8. Care for Seniors with Specialized Needs Like Dementia, Mobility Issues, or Post-Hospital Needs

Our respite care includes specialized support for dementia, mobility challenges, cancer recovery, and more. Our team works closely with families to develop care plans that not only address medical needs but also support confidence, safety, and independence at home.

“Colleen and ABC Care have provided in-home care for both of my parents. They carefully matched the caregivers to my parents’ special needs and personalities. With their excellent care, both my parents have maintained their independence in their own homes. Currently, my father is battling cancer, and his needs are more of a rehab focus. Amy (the caregiver) has adapted a plan of care that is tailored to his needs. In only a few short weeks, he has regained his independence at home, and as of yesterday, he was even outside doing yard work!! Thank you, Colleen, Amy, and everyone else at ABC!!!”

Jackie’s story illustrates how responsive, individualized care can dramatically improve a senior’s quality of life, even in the face of a serious illness.
