Respite Care Services

Respite care offers temporary support to primary family caregivers, giving them a break from their daily caregiving duties. Whether it’s provided by a friend, relative, volunteer, or professional, respite care can take place at home or in a healthcare setting and is essential for maintaining caregiver well-being.

Respite care is usually paid for out-of-pocket. While many insurance plans don’t cover it, certain services might be included under Medicare Advantage, Medicaid (varies by state), or veterans' benefits. Since eligibility and coverage can differ, iThrive can help you explore available options and determine the best fit for your needs.

Respite care allows individuals to stay in their own homes while giving family caregivers time to rest. It supports independence by ensuring your loved one continues to receive reliable care, even when you're not available, offering both peace of mind and continuous support.

The length of respite care depends on your family’s needs. Services can be scheduled for a few hours, days, or longer—whatever suits your situation best. Providers will work with you to create a plan that fits your loved one’s routine and your family’s schedule.
