Respite Care

Respite care is a good option when a caregiver needs a break, or when a senior is waiting to transition into another care environment but is no longer safe to be at home, even with support.

Respite care can take several forms including adult day programs, at home respite, or residential respite, where a senior will receive temporary accommodation or assistance on day-to-day needs at a care home for a specific period.

Respite care is available as a private pay service or may be publicly subsidized for eligible seniors.
