Respite Services
Respite Care: A Short-Term Support Solution
Respite care is intended to provide temporary relief for primary caregivers, not to serve as a long-term or permanent care option.
These services come in many forms, tailored to meet a wide range of needs. Because every caregiving situation is unique, respite care is designed to be flexible and adaptable.
Depending on the circumstances, respite care can offer support such as:
- Homemaking – Assistance with everyday household tasks
- Personal Care – Help with meals, bathing, grooming, and hairstyling
- Companionship and Supervision – Ensuring your loved one has someone there for social interaction and safety
- Transportation – Rides to medical appointments or other essential errands
Respite care services can be accessed through private payment or, in some cases, supported by public funding programs. For more information, use Empowerline’s Search for Services tool to find local providers and support options near you, or call Empowerline at 404-463-3333 for assistance.
Respite care is available via private pay and through some public funding.
