Respite care gives family caregivers a break.
We step in for an afternoon, a weekend or longer, so you can rest, work or travel without worrying.
Caring for someone you love is exhausting, and you need rest too.
Many spouses and adult children care for a loved one every day, on top of work and their own families. Over time, that can lead to burnout, which is hard on both the family caregiver and the person they care for.
Respite care means one of our caregivers takes over for a while. Your loved one keeps their routine at home, and you get time for a doctor visit, a full night of sleep, a family event or a trip.
What respite care can include.
During your free home visit, we build a care plan around only the tasks your loved one needs help with.
- Respite for family caregivers
- Bathing and showering
- Meal planning and cooking
- Conversation and company
- Medication reminders
- Morning and bedtime routines
- Up to 24-hour care
Families use respite care in different ways.
A regular afternoon off.
A caregiver comes the same day each week, so you have time that is truly yours.
A weekend or a trip.
We can cover a weekend or longer with rested caregivers working shifts of 8 hours or less.
When you are sick or recovering.
If the family caregiver needs surgery or gets sick, we can step in while you recover.
Rolocare provides non-medical care only. Our caregivers do not perform nursing tasks such as injections or wound care.
Families choose Rolocare for four reasons.
Our caregivers are screened and trained.
Every caregiver is on the California Home Care Aide registry, clears a fingerprint background check, has a negative TB test and finishes our training.
Our caregivers are always rested.
No caregiver works more than 8 hours in a row, so the person with your loved one is alert and at their best.
Your care plan fits your family.
You only pay for the help your loved one needs, and you can change the schedule any time.
A real person answers your call.
You talk to our own local team, not a call center.
Families often ask us these questions.
Is there a minimum for respite care?
Schedules are set during your free home visit. Call us and we will explain the options for the dates you need.
Can respite care be overnight?
Yes. We can provide an awake overnight caregiver or around-the-clock coverage in shifts of 8 hours or less.
Do you offer live-in respite?
No, Rolocare does not offer live-in care. Longer respite is covered with separate shifts of 8 hours or less, so a rested caregiver is always present.
Families who ask about this often ask about these services too.
