Respite care FAQs
Yes. Dementia is a common need among the families our team supports, and respite care can give family caregivers time away while a Care Pro stays with their loved one.

For example, a family might need a Care Pro to help their loved one shower several days a week, get ready in the morning, or complete their evening routine.
Most of our approximately 150 Care Pros are CNAs, and our local Home Instead team operates its own CNA school.
