What Is Respite Care?

Respite Care provides temporary, short-term support for individuals who normally receive care from a family member or primary caregiver. It allows caregivers to take a break—whether for rest, travel, work, appointments, or emergencies—while ensuring their loved one continues to receive safe and compassionate care at home.

As a Kansas Medicaid-licensed HCBS provider, Caretech of Kansas delivers reliable Respite Care you can trust, giving families peace of mind whenever they need time away.

Why Families Choose Respite Care

  • Prevent Burnout & Reduce Stress

    Caregiving is rewarding but demanding. Respite Care provides essential breaks that protect a caregiver’s health, energy, and emotional well-being.

  • Maintain a Safe and Stable Routine

    While you’re away, our caregivers follow your loved one’s established routines to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety.

  • Support Long-Term Independence

    Regular respite helps caregivers continue providing long-term support, preventing early placement in assisted living or nursing homes.

  • Emergency Back-Up Care

    When unexpected situations arise, families can rely on Caretech for dependable short-term support.

Respite Care is ideal for families caring for:

  • Seniors aging at home

  • Adults with physical disabilities

  • Individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities

  • Those living with chronic conditions

  • Loved ones with mobility limitations

  • Individuals with early-stage dementia or cognitive decline

This service ensures the care recipient is safe and supported while giving caregivers the time they need to recharge.
