Respite care is a short-term care arrangement. It benefits caregivers by providing coverage when they need to take a break and recharge; this is an effective way of preventing caregiver burnout or caregiver fatigue.
This depends on what area you’re in but, in general, yes! ComForCare has locations all over Canada and respite care is available at them all. As we hire a wide variety of caregivers, we can accommodate unique care needs you or your loved one may have.
Short-term care benefits seniors by providing a safety net while they recover from an injury or major surgery. Most recovery periods require specific measures to ensure proper healing, which often involves minimal movement, light, if any, lifting, and copious amounts of rest. Respite caregivers help ensure individuals stick to their personalized recovery plans.
Depending on your area, availability will fluctuate. In general, however, you should be able to find short-term senior care near you. ComForCare has locations across Canada, and we do our best to provide support to anyone who inquires.
As this type of care is specifically defined by the duration it’s needed for and the type of support required, the types of services included may vary. All our services at ComForCare are available for our customized care plans, which can be found here. Once you've identified what services are necessary for your needs, we’d be delighted to start generating a care plan.
Choosing the right facility or at-home care options can be a daunting task, as there are many options available. We recommend talking with your loved ones to understand what the goal is for their care experience. If you can, research local options and visit them together.

The duration of short-term care services is dependent on personal needs. Whether a doctor-advised recovery period or a break for a family caregiver, you will understand what length is necessary for your unique situation. Traditionally, short-term care services are offered anywhere from a few days to several months; however, if it extends beyond a year, we may have to discuss long-term options.
We are happy to discuss the cost of senior respite care in more detail with you. Cost is often determined by the duration of care, the types of services needed, the type of care professional required, and much more. Contact us for a clearer estimate.
