Respite care provides short-term, temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities. Respite care provides you the freedom to run errands, spend time seeing people, or simply give yourself a much-needed break. Our respite care services give family caregivers some time for themselves and for other personal and family matters, and respite care is available for both recurring and on-demand needs.

Bringing professional respite caregivers into the house can allow loved ones to remain in their most comfortable and familiar surroundings without sacrificing safety or disrupting the care plans prescribed by doctors.

Family care needs very and sometimes a common broken bone or the arrival of a new baby can complicate life in a hurry. If a child already has special needs, caring for an aging parent can be even more difficult to manage. BrightStar Care offers families a range of types of in-home care to respond to both expected and unexpected needs at any time, whether the condition is temporary or chronic.

Please remember we can help with our in-home care services and companion care options when you find you need extra support caring for your family.
