Caregiver Respite

Our respite services give primary caregivers—whether a spouse, child, friend, or relative—a much-needed break from providing daily support and supervision to someone who depends on their care. Respite can last a few hours or several days, tailored to each situation, and may be offered occasionally or on a regular schedule.

Respite Enables Caregivers To::

  • Manage a crisis effectively.

  • Take a planned, short break, such as a vacation.

  • Attend to personal needs, such as exercise, shopping, personal care, and errands.

  • Address their own medical needs, including appointments or procedures.

Respite Services Can Include::

  • Medication Assistance: Reminders and help with organizing medications (e.g., removing from Blistopax).

  • Homemaking: Light cleaning, laundry, and maintaining a safe environment.

  • Meal Preparation and Clean-Up: Preparing nutritious meals and tidying afterward.

  • Exercise Support: Assistance with range-of-motion or other prescribed exercises.

  • Promoting Well-Being: Activities such as walks, companionship, and conversation.

  • Personal Care Assistance: Help with oral care, bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility.

Companionship Services

Our Companion services provide non-medical supervision to ensure a client’s safety and well-being. Personal or hands-on care is not included in this category. Services can include:

  • Playing games, cards, or reading to clients

  • Helping clients stay connected with family, friends, and the community

  • Providing transportation or escort assistance to medical appointments, grocery stores, and errands

  • Accompanying clients to recreational or social events

  • Assisting with meal planning, preparation, and serving

  • Reminding clients to take medications or start/finish meals

  • Engaging in conversation, listening, sharing experiences

  • Providing friendship and emotional support

Transportation Services

Transportation services are available to eligible clients using Agency, private, or client-owned vehicles, provided the services are specified in the Care Plan and other criteria are met.

Before transportation services are approved, clients are required to read, accept, and sign the Agency’s Transportation Liability Waiver, which absolves our Direct Care Workers or any Agency Representative from any claims that may arise while operating a vehicle in which the client is riding.

If a client requests transportation in a vehicle they own or provide, proof of valid vehicle insurance must be shown prior to being transported. The Agency Representative will also inspect the vehicle to ensure all safety equipment is in proper working condition. If the vehicle is not deemed safe, the Agency Representative will refuse transportation.

Clients must carry a copy of their health insurance information in the vehicle during transport in case of emergency. In addition to regular service fees, a mileage rate will apply when transportation is provided using an Agency or Agency Representative vehicle.

Friendly Reassurance

Friendly Reassurance provides regular contact with homebound clients via telephone, digital means, or in-home visits to ensure their well-being and safety. Contact is scheduled according to each client’s individualized Service Plan and may include telephone check-ins and/or home visits.

The goals of Friendly Reassurance are to:

  • Ensure a client’s safety, well-being, and comfort

  • Provide companionship

  • Encourage social interaction

Friendly Reassurance promotes peace of mind for clients and their families. In the event of an emergency, 9-1-1 is contacted, and family members or designated caregivers are promptly notified.

Live-In Care and 24-Hour Care

Live-In Care and 24-Hour Care are designed for individuals who cannot be left alone at any time, often those who are housebound or require constant supervision. These services provide support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year.

Live-In Care offers an alternative to facility-based Assisted Living by providing care in the client’s own home. Generally, individuals who require Live-In Care may:

  • Need continuous supervision or monitoring

  • Require assistance with personal care, mobility, or medication

  • Have complex medical or physical conditions that make leaving them alone unsafe

  • Benefit from companionship and ongoing support throughout the day and night

This service ensures safety, comfort, and continuity of care while allowing clients to remain in the familiar environment of their own home.

Individuals who may require Live-In or 24-Hour Care include those with:

  • Temporary health conditions, which are expected to improve over time (e.g., Traumatic Brain Injury)

  • Chronic conditions, which require increasing support as the condition progresses or with aging (e.g., Multiple Sclerosis)

  • Terminal conditions, which result from injury or illness and are not expected to improve (e.g., Cancer)

The Direct Care Workers assigned provide personal, social, and domestic care, as well as supervision, at a level tailored to each individual client’s needs.
