Respite Care

Many caregivers dedicate a large part of their free time to taking care of their elder, or ill, family member.  In an increasingly mobile society where some family members have moved out of the general area, the remaining family member(s) have an increased burden and very little chance to go anywhere, or share in a family vacation.

Respite care is short term care stay that helps a family take a break from the daily routine and stress.  Respite care is an essential part of the overall support that families may need to keep their family member at home.  Zearing Health Care Center’s Respite Care Program is here to provide relief to caregivers.  The caregiver can rest knowing their loved one is being cared for by licensed personnel.  The duration of the average respite stay is dependent upon the needs of the caregiver and resident.
