Respite Care
As a family caregiver, you can’t do it all. MDC Healthcare can step in and maintain your loved one’s comfort and quality of life while you take a much-needed break.
What Is Respite Care for the Elderly and Medically Frail?
Respite care provides relief to primary caregivers. It’s natural to become mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted when caring for an older adult or medically frail loved one suffering from chronic illness or injury. Respite caregiving is a short-term home care solution that can last anywhere from an afternoon to several weeks. These visits give you time to take care of personal matters and recuperate without sacrificing your loved one’s quality of care.

Personalized In-Home Respite Care
According to studies at Pew Research, nearly half of adults in their 40s and 50s have a parent age 65 or older and are either raising or financially supporting a child. If you’re an adult family caregiver looking after a senior or medically frail family member, it can be stressful splitting time among the responsibilities in your life. When you feel overwhelmed and torn between your personal life and your unpaid caregiving duties, it’s okay to seek outside help.
In-home respite care reduces burnout in primary caregivers and makes caregiving more manageable. MDC Healthcare works with you to gain a complete understanding of your loved one’s condition and their care requirements. We ensure your loved one is safe and comfortable while you’re away. All of our care providers are fully trained and carefully selected to match your needs and maintain the level of care your loved one requires.
Being a family caregiver drains you physically and emotionally. Scheduling respite care helps you balance the demands in your life and gives you space to rest.
Respite Care Is a Short-Term Solution With Long-Term Benefits
Respite care is often a short-term or temporary solution. However, MDC Healthcare understands that not every family caregiver’s situation is the same. That’s why we offer flexible, personalized care planning and scheduling to ease your burden. If you need weekly, biweekly, or monthly relief, our managers can coordinate a plan with you.
When you trust MDC Healthcare to handle your respite care services, you reduce the family care burden. Some benefits of respite care include:
- Increased personal time
- Established continuity of care
- Ability to budget your time as a caregiver
- Opportunity to re-establish a daily routine
