Respite Care

Respite means a short break. A trained caregiver steps in for a few hours or a full day, so you can truly rest.

What the caregiver does

  • Covers a few hours or a full day
  • All personal care during the visit: bathing, dressing, meals
  • Company: your loved one is never left alone
  • Keeps the routine: the day runs the way it usually does
  • Last-minute coverage: we do our best to say yes
  • A simple handoff report after every visit
What we never do: We are a non-medical agency. Caregivers watch and report, never treat. Coverage is by the hour or full day. We do not offer overnight or live-in care.

Who this helps

  • Husbands and wives who care for a spouse and are worn out
  • Adult children juggling caregiving and a job
  • Families who need coverage for a trip or an event
  • Unpaid family caregivers of Medi-Cal members

What it costs

Do you have Medi-Cal? A program called CalAIM may pay for respite care, so you pay $0. The health plan decides who qualifies. It can approve up to 336 hours per calendar year. IHSS is separate: it pays a helper you hire yourself, not agencies like us. Or pay yourself, from $45 an hour. Learn about CalAIM · See prices.
