Respite care FAQs

Respite is scheduled support that gives a family caregiver time to rest or manage other responsibilities while a Care Pro helps the older adult at home. It can be occasional or recurring.

The visit may focus on companionship, meals, personal routines, mobility, or meaningful activity.

Yes. Families can begin with a small, predictable schedule and adjust it as they learn what works. A recurring visit can also help the older adult become comfortable with a Care Pro.

Evenings, weekends, and appointment coverage can all be discussed.

A good respite visit can provide conversation, a meal, a walk, a favourite activity, or help with a familiar routine, rather than simply supervision.

Keeping the person engaged at home can make the arrangement easier for everyone.
