A Few Hours Off for the Caregiver
Someone stays with the person being cared for so the caregiver can leave the house for a while.
$200
What this is
Non-clinical company so the caregiver can go out and get real breathing room. The person staying provides presence and conversation, makes tea, reads aloud or sits quietly. They don't provide personal care, don't give medication and don't perform anything that requires training. We talk with the family first to confirm the person can be safely left. If they can't, we'll say so and point you toward home care instead.
What's included
- Three hours of non-clinical company
- Conversation, reading aloud, tea, quiet presence
- Family conversation before the first visit
- No personal care and no medication
- Handwritten card with the giver's message.
Why this helps
Caregivers stop leaving the house. Not because they can't, but because there's nobody to hand over to for an hour. Three hours where somebody else is responsible is often the difference between a caregiver who lasts and one who collapses.
