Serving with Grace, Caring with Heart.
What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is temporary care designed to give a family caregiver a break from their caregiving responsibilities.
While you take time away, a Living Grace caregiver can stay with your loved one and provide appropriate non-medical assistance, companionship, and supervision.
Respite care may be helpful for a few hours, occasionally throughout the month, or as part of a more regular care schedule.
Think of it as an extra set of helping hands when your family needs them.
You Can't Pour From an Empty Cup
Family caregivers often put their own needs last.
You may feel like you always have to be available.
But taking time for yourself doesn't mean you love the person you're caring for any less.
Rest allows you to continue being the daughter, son, spouse, sibling, relative, or friend your loved one needs—not just their caregiver.
Respite care can give you time to:
- Rest and recharge
- Go to work
- Attend your own appointments
- Run errands
- Spend time with your children or spouse
- Attend church or community activities
- Meet a friend
- Exercise
- Take care of responsibilities outside the home
- Simply have some quiet time
Sometimes even a few hours can make a difference.

Respite Care for Dementia Family Caregivers
Caring for someone living with dementia can require increasing levels of attention and supervision.
Family caregivers may find themselves answering repeated questions, helping with personal care, preparing meals, maintaining routines, supervising their loved one, or staying awake during difficult nights.
Having additional support can give you an opportunity to rest while your loved one remains in familiar surroundings.
Our caregivers can provide companionship, reassurance, supervision, help with daily routines, and other appropriate non-medical assistance.
