Respite care

Respite care is perfect for family caretakers that need a bit of a break, are going out of town, or just need to step away from their role.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is often referred to as relief care. Essentially this is when a caretaker will come in for full-time assistance for a given time, part-time assistance, or really any kind of schedule you need. They’ll be coming in temporarily to help out the family caretaker by taking their place.

Respite care is here to be a shoulder to lean on while you’re full-time caretaking. We know that the job can be very hard to keep up with and it’s really demanding which is why we are here to help. Here at Live Star Home Care, we want to help out in any way possible.
