Respite care for family caregivers in Longmont, CO
Respite care is a dependable caregiver stepping in so the family caregiver can work, travel, rest, or handle an emergency.
What it is, in our words
Respite care is a dependable caregiver stepping in so the family caregiver can work, travel, rest, or handle an emergency. It can be a few hours on a Tuesday, a week while you are out of state, or a standing afternoon every week. We do not replace family. We support them. And because there is no required minimum, you can keep us as a trusted back-pocket service for the next time.
Who it is for
- An adult child who is caring for a parent and has not had a day off in months

- A caregiver who is burning out and knows it
What we do
- Personal care, meals, companionship, and household help while you are away
- A few hours, a full day, overnights, or a week of coverage
- Standing weekly or biweekly visits so the break actually happens
- Coverage alongside hospice or palliative providers
- Travel companionship and help at weddings, reunions, funerals, and other events
- Temporary support for a move, a visiting relative, or another life transition
What we do not do
- Skilled nursing, medical diagnosis, or medical treatment
- Injections or medication administration (we do medication reminders)
- Wound or drain care, feeding tubes, or respiratory treatment
