For More Information

Caring for someone who needs constant support can be exhausting. Often, there is little time for loved ones (often the primary caregivers) to take care of their own needs – and, finding time to relax and decompress is nearly impossible.

In-Home Respite Care is designed to provide loved ones the much-needed break they need in order to take an uninterrupted nap, go for a walk, go shopping or simply have quality time with family and friends.

Respite Care at home can provide both short and long-term relief. Care is provided at home and can be scheduled by the hour (for as many as 24 hours per day), or by the week with round-the-clock care called Extended Care (also referred to as, Live-In Care).

Primary Caregivers and Clients Benefit from Respite Care:

Rest and re-energize with peace of mind
Re-engage with friends, family, and colleagues
Re-introduce healthy lifestyle choices including staying active and exercising
Even the person receiving care benefits, as they get to meet new people and have a change of pace for a few hours, days or weeks

Plus, by staying in the decision-making loop, there is a powerful psychological benefit that seniors feel which can even accelerate post-hospital recovery time.

Assisted Living Communities

Nursing homes
Rehabilitation Centers
Skilled Nursing Facilities

Alternative

Private Home Care can be significantly more cost-effective than a nursing home, also referred to as a skilled nursing facility.

Since it is difficult to predict when, or for how long, you or a loved one may need care, it is important to understand, and plan for, the financial impact of round the clock care.

According to a 2019 New York Life “Cost of Care Survey”, the average cost of for a room in a Nursing Home, is $107,000 per year. In the Northeast, that cost is significantly higher.

The average cost of a 1-bedroom apartment in an Assisted Living Community is $57,000 per year, and it can be as high as $144,000 in the Boston area.

Private Home Care, on the other hand is less expensive and allows the client to age in place in the comfort of their own home. The average in-home care cost is $50,918 a year for 40 hours of help per week (in Massachusetts that number is closer to $79,000 per year).
