Respite Care

Seniors First offers respite care to help caregivers find relief from the daily demands
of caring for a loved one. The scope of respite care is typically delivered in the client’s home for a few hours a day.

  • Respite care provides family support, allowing for elderly adults to remain in the comfort of home.
  • Respite care services may be tailored to meet the needs of the client and caregiver.
  • In-home respite care can be more cost-effective than off-site options for your loved ones.
  • Caregivers can safely and confidently leave the home for an hour or so, for any reason.
  • When caregivers have time to care for themselves, they can better care for others. Taking a walk or a yoga class, exercising, playing golf or tennis, getting a massage or a manicure, meeting a friend for lunch, shopping, and even crossing errands off a list can help caregivers feel refreshed and ready to renew the routine of care.
  • Respite care allows caregivers time to focus on other family members.
  • Respite care providers can often give caregivers guidance with procedures at home, such as suggesting ways to ease personal care or remember medication.
  • Respite care providers can also provide emotional relief for caregivers, helping to “lift the load” by simply listening and being there.
