Respite Care Services

Caring for a loved one with a serious illness can be a rewarding yet exhausting journey. At Anvoi Hospice, we understand the emotional, mental, and physical toll caregiving can take. That’s why we offer respite care services designed to provide caregivers with the temporary relief they need, while ensuring that their loved ones receive the same compassionate care they are used to.

Whether it’s for a few hours or several days, our respite care services give caregivers the chance to rest and recharge.

What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is a short-term care option that provides temporary relief for caregivers of individuals with a terminal illness or those who require long-term care. It allows family caregivers to step away for a set period, knowing that their loved ones will be cared for in a safe, nurturing environment.

At Anvoi Hospice, our respite care services are tailored to meet the needs of both the caregiver and the patient, offering the support you need, when you need it most.

Why Choose Respite Care?

Being a caregiver can be overwhelming, especially when balancing other responsibilities. Respite care is an essential service that helps prevent caregiver burnout by offering a break from the daily demands of caregiving. The benefits of respite care include:

Emotional Relief: Caring for a loved one, especially over an extended period, can lead to stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Respite care allows caregivers to take a break and focus on their own well-being.
Physical Rest: Many caregivers experience physical strain from lifting, transferring, or assisting loved ones with mobility challenges. Respite care offers much-needed rest.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your loved one is receiving professional and compassionate care allows caregivers to enjoy their time away without worry.

Does Medicare Cover Respite Care?

Yes, Medicare does cover respite care as part of its hospice benefit. Typically, Medicare allows caregivers to access up to five consecutive days of respite care at a time. This respite care can be provided in a hospice facility, nursing home, or other approved facility. To qualify, the patient must already be receiving hospice care, and the respite care must be arranged through a certified hospice provider like Anvoi Hospice.

For those not covered by Medicare, other insurance options may be available, or our team can work with you to discuss payment options.
