Respite
The intention of respite services is to offer an interval of
rest or relief for those who bear the majority of responsibility in
caring for a dependent loved one. Through Oxford Healthcare,
grandparents and caregivers may elect to receive respit vouchers as
an alternative to agency based in-home service provision or
Companion Assisted Respite.
Companion Asssited Respite offers a home service aide who
will stay with the care recipient. The aide will offer
companionship and safety supervision not related to any personal
care activities. The aide may prepare a meal or meals as well
as some very light housekeepking. Respite vouchers are an
alternative to in-home service. Participants electing to exercise
this option will be eligible to receive $400 of vouchers. The
vouchers will allow the caregiver to facilitate their private
arrangements for their loved one's respite care.
