Short-Term Respite Care

DayBreak at Elder Care is offering short-term respite care Monday through Friday 7:30am-5:30pm.

Caregivers can bring their loved ones in for one day or as many days as necessary in order to take care of their own needs during this busy time of year.

Respite care provides a “short break” for caregivers who are caring for family members.

The focus of short-term respite care is often on the caregiver who may be getting the break, but the participant who is receiving the care is rewarded as well. At DayBreak, participants eat a nutritious meal, socialize with friends, participate in group activities, take part in therapeutic art and even exercise while they spend the day at DayBreak.

For more information on costs and arrangements for short-term respite care at DayBreak Monday through Friday please call Andrea Harvick, Director of DayBreak at 918-336-8500.
