Respite care FAQs
Yes. This is actually one of the more common needs our local team sees.
A Care Pro can stay with the person while a spouse or other family caregiver runs errands or takes time away. During that visit, the Care Pro focuses on the client’s everyday needs, which might include toileting, bathing, meals, and other assistance.

Respite care is built around what the client needs while the family caregiver is away.
For some Scottsbluff Home Instead clients, that means help with toileting, bathing, or eating. For someone living with dementia, it may also require reminders, reassurance, or a creative approach to familiar routines.
The family caregiver can use that time for errands or other responsibilities knowing a Care Pro is there with their loved one.
