Frequently Asked Questions
What does respite care actually mean?
Respite care gives family caregivers short-term relief by having a trusted care provider take over for a few hours or days. It helps caregivers rest while ensuring their loved one continues to receive safe and attentive support.
How is a sitter different from a respite care provider?
A sitter usually offers companionship and basic supervision, while respite care may include help with personal care, medication reminders, or other daily needs. We can explain which option fits best based on individual situations.
What kinds of activities do sitters usually do with someone at home?
Most sitters focus on keeping the person engaged and comfortable — things like reading together, playing games, chatting, or taking short walks, depending on ability and preference.
How long can respite care last?
Respite care can range from a few hours to several days. Some families schedule it regularly, while others arrange it as needed for vacations or emergencies. We can help plan care that fits the timing required.
Is respite care only for older adults?
No, respite care supports people of all ages — including those with developmental disabilities, chronic illnesses, or special needs — whenever a primary caregiver needs temporary assistance.
