Short-term respite care across Southern California. A trained caregiver steps in for a few hours or a few days, so you can rest, work or travel.
“Caring for a parent is love and hard work. Taking a break is how you keep going.”
Respite care gives family caregivers real time off: one afternoon a week, or a few days away. Era Life Care is a Best of Home Care® Provider of Choice, and we meet you at home first so your stand-in knows the routine.
What's included
Your caregiver follows your loved one's usual routine, so the time you're away feels normal to them.
A few hours
Run errands, see your own doctor or just rest. We cover meals, personal care and company.
A full day
A full day of care, including meals, medication reminders and an outing if your loved one is up for it.
Overnight
A caregiver handles the evening routine and is there through the night, so you can sleep.
A few days
Cover for a trip, a family event or your own recovery, with care around the clock if needed.
Getting started
A care coordinator visits and learns the routine your stand-in caregiver will follow while you're away.
We match someone your loved one will be comfortable with, and send the same caregiver for repeat breaks where we can.
Book it once or on a regular schedule, and change it any time.
“They have a wonderful reputation in the community and provide excellent care to those they serve. I highly recommend Era Life Care.”
