Respite Care Services
Respite care is short-term care for adults with special medical needs. You can utilize respite care services as frequently as you need without committing to a particular community.
Embassy Healthcare will work with you or your loved one to determine how we can address individual needs and provide necessary support. We also offer programs for half-day and full-day respite care as well as extended stays.
Respite care is an essential service for caregivers as it provides temporary relief from caretaking responsibilities. That can benefit your mental, physical and emotional health if you look after your loved one regularly. Our friendly, dedicated staff are happy to look after your loved one while you work, run errands or take a vacation.
How Respite Care Supports Seniors and Caregivers
Caring for a loved one at home is rewarding, but it can also be challenging to balance their needs with yours. The stress of providing home care can affect your work productivity and take an emotional and physical toll on your entire family.
As a home caregiver, respite care gives you the chance to tend to your needs, take a personal day or complete chores while your loved one is tended to by an expert team. That can reduce caregiver strain, improve family dynamics and provide time for much-needed rest. Seniors also benefit from respite care as it presents opportunities to socialize, participate in engaging activities and be a part of their community.
The care is amazing. People are so friendly and always willing to help."
