In-Home Respite Care in Columbus, Ohio
You take care of them. Let us take care of you, too.
Caring for a parent, spouse or relative is an act of love, and it's also hard work. Respite care gives family caregivers a break while a trusted caregiver looks after your loved one at home. Doctors of Hope Home Care provides in-home respite care in Columbus and Central Ohio.
A Break for Family Caregivers
When families use respite care.
- A few hours each week to run errands, see a doctor or simply rest
- While you're at work
- During a trip, a wedding or a family emergency
- After a hospital or rehab stay, when your loved one needs extra help for a while
- When you feel worn out and need time to recharge
During a Visit
What happens during a respite visit.
Our caregiver follows your loved one's normal routine, so the day feels familiar. Depending on the plan, that can include:
- Companionship, conversation and activities
- Meals and help at mealtimes
- Bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting help
- Medication reminders
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Calm, patient support for someone living with memory loss
Respite care through Doctors of Hope is non-medical. It doesn't include skilled nursing.
Short-Term or Ongoing
Plan the break you need.
Respite can be a one-time visit, a regular weekly break or a block of days while you're away. Tell us what you need and we'll plan around it.
If your loved one is living with memory loss, see Alzheimer's and dementia care at home. For everyday support, see in-home senior care.
