Children’s Respite Care
What is respite care for a child?
Respite care for children is a temporary stay in a full medically equipped home that provides support for children with complex medical needs. It allows parents and caregivers to step away, knowing their child’s complex medical needs will be taken care of. Stays can last anywhere from 24 hours to 14 days, offering relief for families who need time to recharge, travel or handle personal matters.
Your Child’s Respite Care Stay
At Almost Home Kids, your child is cared for in a warm, home-like environment designed specifically for their unique needs. They’ll stay in a private bedroom that can be customized to their needs. To help them settle in, you can bring familiar items from home and spend time with them as they adjust to their new surroundings.
During their stay, they will receive 24/7 nursing care while engaging in fun and therapeutic activities – so their only worry is being a kid. Our compassionate team ensures your child’s medical and emotional needs are met while providing peace of mind for you and your family.
