“At the beginning of the year my family was hit with a blow when my father ended up in the hospital for several days! Once he was released he needed an outpatient rehab and then an assisted living facility! I never expected to have to navigate something like this at my age!! I was lost and surely didn’t know what to do! I’m so grateful Janae and I were able to get connected! From the moment that she found out my dad needed assisted living she was there with me every step of the way! She gave me several facilities to check out that she had vetted and would trust with her own family! The first assisted living facility she suggested was the one we ended up choosing! All of the staff was so incredibly kind and I could tell they took a sincere interest in each one of the people that lived in the facility! Shortly after my dad got settled in Janae went by to actually meet my father! I can’t tell you how much that meant to me and my heart! The best part about this is, the love and care didn’t stop there! Over the last six months I have been contacted by Janae, and she as has even visited my dad to check in see how things are going! Janae has truly gone above and beyond my expectations and my hopes! I highly recommend Janae and anyone she trusts to work with her!”

Respite care is a service that provides an opportunity for family caregivers to relieve stress, restore their energy and promote balance in their lives, all while knowing that their loved one is being taken care of. Respite care is a service designed to give family caregivers a period of rest (or “respite”) from the daily responsibility of caring for their loved ones. The respite period can vary depending on a family’s needs and benefits but often range from a few hours to a few days or weeks. Care can be provided at home in a healthcare facility, or at an assisted living facility.
Respite care can be a lifeline for family caregivers and their loved ones. This type of home care typically involves short-term or temporary caregiving visits. These visits make it possible for family caregivers to take time away from unpaid caregiving duties—without compromising the quality of care received by their loved ones.
One of the primary reasons families choose respite care is to prevent caregiver burnout. According to AARP’s 2020 Caregiving in the U.S. report, there were 47.9 million family caregivers, and 12% of those were caring for a spouse or partner. Respite care is an excellent way for these caregivers to take a step back and relax while knowing their loved one is in good hands.
Family caregivers often suffer from poor health due to stress and lack of time to properly care for themselves. The good news is even short periods of respite can make a big difference in a caregiver’s physical and mental health.
Respite care can also be used when a caregiver works outside of the home, goes out of town or on vacation, runs errands, undergoes surgery or a medical procedure.
In-home respite care can substantially reduce your risk of burnout and make caring for your loved one more manageable. If you need time to rest and recuperate, Always Best Care Senior Services can provide care services to your loved one while you spend time caring for yourself. If the daily or weekly routine of caregiving has become overwhelming, we can perform regular respite visits to reduce your workload.
In-home respite care from Always Best Care Senior Services can include a wide range of caregiving services.
Some of the most common tasks performed by our respite caregivers include:
In most cases, respite care is provided on a short-term or temporary basis. However, respite visits can also be performed on a routine basis on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule. Our flexible approach to care planning and scheduling is designed to make sure you and your loved one get the respite care services you need.
Whether you need respite home care for just a few hours a week or every day, Always Best Care Senior Services can meet your needs. Even if you just want a caregiver to sit with your friend or family while you run errands worry-free, we’ll be there. If you are going on vacation or need a little time to rest, we’ll make sure you have the help you need by making changes to scheduling when you are ready. 24-hour care is available as well for those with greater needs.
As the primary caregiver for your parent or loved one, it’s likely safe to say that you’re dealing with a lot of stress. Finding time to care for your loved one can be challenging, especially when you have a family, a full-time job, and other responsibilities to handle. Unfortunately, stress can catch up with you if you don’t take some time off. That doesn’t mean you have to go on an extended vacation – sometimes, a couple of hours of rest is all you need.
If you’re experiencing burnout from being a primary caregiver, respite care might be the best solution for you and your family.
Here are just a few benefits of using respite care services:
If you are a family caregiver, we understand that you may struggle with the notion of leaving your aging parent or loved one in somebody else’s care. We believe that trust is a vital aspect of caregiving, and without it, all parties may suffer.
Caring for your family members is a serious job. As such, we make sure that all of our respite care providers are thoroughly vetted, trained, and insured. You can rest easy knowing that your parent or family member will receive high quality care from highly qualified caregivers.
To help ease your anxiety, we recommend scheduling a care consultation to speak to your local Always Best Care representative. During this care consultation, we will take as much time as necessary to answer your questions and walk you through the respite care process.
Yes, we do. As humans, one of our most basic needs revolves around companionship and socialization. The need to engage with other humans doesn’t change as we age.
Unfortunately, it can be more difficult for seniors to go see friends and engage with other people due to mobility problems and other issues. That’s where companionship services come in. If you’re planning to take a short break and want to make sure your senior’s routines are followed, companionship care is a great solution.
Common non-medical companionship services include:
Yes, absolutely.
A caregiver’s primary goal is to provide your loved one with the companionship, assistance, and care they need most. We work closely with all our clients to discover the level of companion care their senior needs. If you can’t oversee daily tasks or planned activities, caregivers are more than capable of filling in until you return.
