Respite Care
Taking care of a loved one as they age is an admirable task that requires a high level of commitment and dedication. When life events happen that prevent one from maintaining that level of commitment, we’re here to help. Althea Woodland offers a comprehensive respite care program designed to provide care to your loved one for several days or weeks, depending on your need. We have a specialized facility ready to address the specific requirements of your loved one if you are temporarily unable.
In the event of emergency, we can become your “planned” respite care provider. We’ll set up a program specifically designed to mitigate the risk factors you may be aware of and if an emergency arises, be ready to receive your loved one into our facility.
Respite services help sustain caregiver health and well being, and can provide additional support that may be unavailable otherwise. Feel free to contact us for more information.
