Stanford Senior Care

Respite for family caregivers

You can take a break and still know they’re cared for.

Caring for someone you love takes time and energy. When you need a few hours or longer to rest, work, or attend to your own life, we can step in.

When do you need a hand?

You know your loved one’s routines best. Tell us what makes them comfortable, what support they need, and what you would like us to handle while you are away.

We’ll listen first and build a care plan that respects your preferences and your family’s goals.

What support can include

Care built around your day

Companionship during your break
Help with personal care routines
Meals and hydration support
Mobility assistance

Flexible visit planning
We’ll agree on the care plan and schedule before visits begin, so you can take your break with a clear handoff.
