Respite Care

This service is available to a caregiver who takes care of a disabled loved one around the clock. Such intensive care can become a burden and place the caregiver under a lot of stress. Respite care service offers relief to the caregiver for a few hours a day. Depending on the needs of a disabled individual, Integrity Home Care can provide a trained personal aid and/or skilled medical worker such as RN or LPN. The primary caregiver can take a break while his/her disabled loved one is under professional care.

Department of Medical Assistance Services (Medicaid) pays Integrity Home Care to provide Personal/Respite care to Medicaid eligible recipients. Individuals not eligible for Medicaid may receive Personal/Respite services as private clients.

To find out how to apply for these services you can speak to your doctor, contact your local Department of Social Services or contact Integrity Home Care.
