Support for Families Who Give So Much

Caring for a parent or spouse at home can be one of the most meaningful roles you’ll ever take on — but it can also be overwhelming. In East Dallas, many families call us when they’ve been giving everything they have, and they’re simply running out of energy. That’s when respite care makes a difference.

Whether you need a few hours, coverage for a weekend, or a regular schedule of relief, our caregivers step in so you can rest, recharge, and keep going.

Why Respite Care Matters

Even the most dedicated caregivers need time away. Without rest, burnout sets in quickly, and both you and your loved one feel the effects. Respite care ensures you can:

  • Rest and recover physically and emotionally
  • Keep up with work, family, and other responsibilities
  • Spend time with children or grandchildren
  • Focus on your own health and well-being

Meanwhile, your loved one gets consistency, connection, and care from a trained professional.

The GUIDE Program: A New Respite Care Benefit

Families in East Dallas who are caring for someone with dementia may qualify for extra help through the GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) program. This benefit provides up to $2,563 annually — equal to about 72 hours of covered respite care each year.

Eligibility requirements:

  • The person receiving care must have a dementia diagnosis
  • They must have Original Medicare (not Advantage)
  • They must be living at home (not in a nursing home)
  • They must live within our East Dallas service area

As a contracted GUIDE partner, we can help families understand eligibility and access this benefit.

Our Respite Care Services in East Dallas

When we provide respite, caregivers can help with:

  • Personal care such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility
  • Meal preparation and light housekeeping
  • Medication reminders and hydration support
  • Companionship and engaging activities
  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s care with structured routines
  • Overnight or weekend coverage so family caregivers can fully rest

Connected Home: Smart, Silent Protection That Learns and Responds

Our Connected Home program adds an extra layer of safety between caregiver visits — powered by AI that learns daily routines and flags changes before they become emergencies.

Here’s how it works:

  • AI tracks patterns like sleep, bathroom trips, and movement
  • Real-time alerts when routines shift (less movement, late wake-ups, etc.)
  • Fall detection and inactivity tracking without cameras or wearables
  • Family dashboard to check in anytime
  • Two live wellness calls per week included

Connected Home doesn’t replace caregivers — it complements them. It gives peace of mind when no one’s physically present and is included in most care plans at no extra cost.

Why Families in East Dallas Trust Us

This work is personal to me. As a teenager, I lived with my grandmother and great-grandmother, one of whom had dementia. My grandmother gave everything she had to provide care, but she didn’t have support — and it wore us all down. Looking back, I know respite care would have changed everything for our family.

That’s why we built ComForCare differently:

✔ We personally meet every family before care begins
✔ We match caregivers thoughtfully — by skill and personality
✔ We support and celebrate our care team so they stay long-term
✔ We move quickly — often starting within just a few days
✔ We keep care flexible, with no long-term contracts or rigid minimums

Getting Started Is Simple

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Just start with a call. 24-Hour & Live-In Care in East Dallas might seem intimidating, but we do all of the heavy lifting.

  1. We’ll listen and learn what’s going on
  2. We’ll schedule a free in-home or virtual care assessment
  3. If it’s a fit, we’ll match a caregiver and begin — usually within 1-3 days

There’s no pressure — just real support, from a local team who gets it.

During Your Personalized Home Visit We Will:

  • Check for potential fall risks with suggestions for simple fixes
  • Look at the living space with your loved one’s specific concerns in mind
  • Review medical history, medications, any other needs or concerns
  • Evaluate balance and ease of movement throughout the home
  • Recommend any necessary home safety devices that assist in overall comfort and safety such as handrails and shower chairs
  • Offer support and understanding, with flexible services that can help
