Respite care

Respite is care for your loved one so that you can stop for a while. A wedding, a trip home, a medical appointment of your own, or simply a full night of sleep. It can be a few hours a week on a regular schedule, or a block of days.

If your family member is on the Virginia Medicaid CCC Plus Waiver, a set number of respite hours is often part of what they are already entitled to, and many families never use them because nobody explained they existed.

Overnight and live-in care

Some people are fine during the day and unsafe after dark. Wandering, falls on the way to the bathroom, confusion at night, or a spouse who cannot lift them anymore. We staff overnight shifts and live-in arrangements where a caregiver stays in the home.

24-hour care

For advanced dementia, end-of-life care, or after a serious hospital discharge, we schedule caregivers in shifts so someone is awake and attentive at all times. A nurse oversees the plan, and we keep the same small team of caregivers wherever possible, since that is easier for someone with memory loss.
