Care services

Short-Term Care

Primary family caregivers who need a temporary schedule — a few hours a week or full coverage for a short stretch.

What’s included

  • Running Errands to Get Groceries & Medications
  • Escort to Follow-Up Appointments
  • Fixing Meals/Snacks
  • Reminding Clients to Do Prescribed Exercises
  • Assisting With Bathing
  • Getting Items for the Client (avoiding unnecessary getting up and down)
  • Light Housekeeping

Home by Choice is happy to rise to the occasion for short-term and respite care situations. Primary caregivers have needs and emergencies too; they may need to travel, need additional help, or simply need to take time off to take care of themselves. You can arrange for us to come for a few hours every week or provide full coverage on a short-term basis.

Why it matters
The AARP estimates that nearly 40 million family members provide unpaid care to an adult; over half of these caregivers report that a decline in their own health impedes their ability to provide proper care.
