Respite Care Support for Families

When you’re worried about a loved one’s health, safety, or mobility, you don’t have to carry it alone. Our respite care services offer reliable support without requiring a physician’s order, a specific diagnosis, or homebound status. Care is flexible—meaning the length, frequency, and type of support are guided by your family’s needs and preferences. And for added peace of mind, a Bridging the Gap team member is available 24/7 for urgent questions or changes in care.

Caring for someone you love is meaningful, but it can also be exhausting. Finding a balance between caring for them and caring for yourself isn’t easy. Even a few hours of respite each week can help you rest, recharge, and return feeling more present and supported. While you take time for yourself, our caregivers stay with your loved one to provide companionship, safety monitoring, and help with daily routines—so you can step away knowing they’re in good hands.

Respite care is designed to give family caregivers short-term relief while ensuring the senior continues to receive attentive care at home. It can help you:

• Prevent caregiver burnout and chronic stress
• Maintain your own health, sleep, and routine
• Take time for work, appointments, or errands
• Enjoy personal time without guilt or worry
• Return to caregiving refreshed and supported

Respite care can look different for every family. During a visit, caregivers may assist with:

• Personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting)
• Safe mobility and fall prevention
• Medication reminders
• Meal preparation and hydration support
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Transportation to appointments or errands
• Companionship and engaging activities
