Our live-in respite programs provide you with in-home support and temporary relief from your caregiving duties. At Options Home Care Wake County, our trained caregivers stay with your loved one in their home through the day and night. They help with daily needs while you’re away on vacation, traveling for work, or simply need extended time to rest and recharge.
No, we do not provide hourly respite care. Our live-in respite care is for those who need multi-day support, consisting of a few days to a week or longer.
When you get started with live-in respite care with Options Home Care Wake County, our team will ask questions to learn more about your loved one’s daily routine, their care preferences, and any specific needs they might have while at home. Then, we’ll match them with a vetted caregiver and create a respite care plan. Our live-in respite care can be either planned multi-day care or emergency care.
Planned respite services and emergency respite care services are slightly different. Planned care is when you schedule that care in advance of when it’s needed. Emergency care is when an unexpected emergency comes up, and you need support as soon as possible.
Our live-in respite care is intended for multi-day support (whether you need coverage for a few days, a week, or longer), giving you the flexibility to schedule as much support from our compassionate caregivers as your family needs.
In many cases, we can provide in-home respite care within a very short timeframe. If you’re in need of live-in respite care, contact us today.
Yes, they are. Every caregiver on our team goes through a detailed screening process.
In many cases, yes, because respite care can be considered long-term care. At Options Home Care Wake County, we accept private pay and long-term care insurance.
Long-term care insurance is a private policy purchased years before care is needed, often in your 40s or 50s. It helps cover extended support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility due to aging, illness, or disability. Unlike health insurance, it is designed specifically to pay for ongoing custodial care at home, in assisted living, or in a skilled nursing setting.
If you have long-term care insurance, benefits begin once you meet eligibility requirements, which typically include needing help with two or more activities of daily living or having a cognitive impairment. Our team works directly with all long-term care insurance companies to verify your coverage, initiate your claim, document services, and guide you through the reimbursement process so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
If you’re a primary caregiver who is feeling stretched too thin, burnt out, or simply need to step away for a few days or longer, our live-in respite care services are for you. Our caregivers can assist with meal prep, transportation to personal appointments (such as occupational therapy appointments), memory care support, medication management (such as reminders about taking medication, if needed), and help with daily living activities. This makes live-in respite care a flexible alternative to traditional adult services. Also, rather than arranging transportation to adult day centers, your loved one can stay comfortably at home while receiving personalized attention.
Please note that respite care is not a substitute for medical services or home health care services, and it does not address many mental health needs (with the exception of Alzheimer’s and dementia).
