Respite

Take Time to Take Care of Yourself

While many families take great pride in caring for their loved ones at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences can be overwhelming.

Respite care provides short-term, temporary nursing care in a home-like setting to family members for whom you typically provide care.

You receive the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family member is being cared for 24 hours a day by a dedicated staff of medical professionals. And research has shown that providing respite care can have a positive effect on the health of the caregiver.

The Citizens Care Respite Care Program includes:

Social and recreational activities
Balanced, therapeutic meals, snacks and diet education
Activities including arts and crafts, live entertainment and day trips
Religious services
