WayStone Respite Services
Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it can also be challenging. At WayStone, we know that even the most dedicated caregivers need time to rest, recharge, and take care of their own needs. That’s where Respite Services come in.
Respite gives temporary relief for caregivers while ensuring that your loved one continues to receive safe, compassionate support. Whether it’s a few hours, overnight, or a weekend, our respite care offers peace of mind for families and support for case managers looking to provide well-rounded care plans.
What Is Respite?
Respite means a break for caregivers while maintaining consistent, high-quality support for the individual.
Our Respite Services can include:
- Supervision & safety monitoring
- Help with meals and daily routines
- Personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, mobility, toileting)
- Companionship and activities to keep the individual engaged
- Overnight support if extended respite is needed
Respite can be provided in:
- The individual’s home
- The caregiver’s home
- Or a community setting, depending on the support plan
Who Can Benefit?
Respite is for families and caregivers who:
- Provide daily care for a loved one with disabilities, health needs, or age-related challenges
- Need time to rest, attend appointments, or manage personal responsibilities
- Want reassurance that their loved one is safe and cared for while they take a break
