Overview
Respite Care at home with Avistacare
Family caregivers give an enormous amount of time and energy, often while balancing work, children and their own health. Over time, that can lead to exhaustion and burnout. Respite care provides temporary relief, giving caregivers the time they need to rest, run errands, travel or attend to other responsibilities.
While you are away, our trained caregivers step in to provide attentive, compassionate care in a safe and familiar setting. We follow your loved one's established routines, preferences and care plan, so the transition feels as seamless as possible.
Respite care can be arranged for a few hours, a full day, or longer periods, depending on what your family needs. Many families use respite on a regular schedule, while others call on it for specific events or emergencies. Either way, it is a practical way to sustain caregiving for the long term.

Who can benefit from Respite Care?
Respite care supports spouses, adult children and other family members who serve as primary caregivers, as well as the loved ones in their care, who benefit from a caregiver who is rested, patient and present.
It is also a good way to introduce professional home care gradually. Many families begin with respite visits and later expand support as needs change.
