Partners in Caring

Partners in Caring can help pay for several hours of in-home respite each week, allowing you the time that you need to do other things that need to be done. Funds are available to help with the cost of in-home respite, overnight respite, adult day care, and home modification.

Some caregivers use respite time to rest, take a nap, go shopping, go to medical appointments, get a hair cut, go out to eat, visit with family and friends, go fishing, or resume community activities.

Partners in Caring also offers help with the cost of up to two full weeks (through the year) of overnight respite care at a residential care facility or at home. You can take a needed vacation knowing experienced care providers are caring for your loved one.

Partners in Caring providers offer companionship; supervision and personal care for your loved one while you have some time off.

Partners in Caring is supporting by State funds through the Office of Elder Services and by individual donations.
