Respite care is a type of home care service which typically involves short term visits from the service provider. In these cases there is usually a loved one who does the majority of the caregiving duties but needs occasional help to avoid burnout and have time to participate in other activities.
If you take care of a spouse, parent, or grandparent or a mentally or physically disabled loved one and need quality assistance, 1CommUnity Care Services can help with our Respite Services.
