Here is how companionship and respite care helps your family.
Loneliness is one of the biggest challenges older adults face at home, especially after losing a spouse or giving up driving. A caregiver who visits regularly gives your loved one someone to talk to, laugh with and look forward to. For an elderly parent who lives alone, a caregiver's regular visit can change how the whole week feels.
Respite care is for you, the family caregiver. Caring for a parent or spouse every day is exhausting, and you cannot keep it up without breaks. We can cover a few hours, a weekend or a longer stretch while you are away.
Companionship and respite care can include any of these tasks.
You choose only the tasks your loved one needs. We put them in a written care plan during your free home assessment.
- Conversation and company
- Board games, cards and puzzles
- Hobbies and crafts
- Walks and outings
- Reading aloud
- Looking through photos and memories
- Visits with friends and family
- Respite for an afternoon
- Respite for a weekend
- Respite while you travel
Rolocare provides non-medical care only. Our caregivers do not perform nursing tasks such as injections or wound care.
This is who companionship and respite care is a good fit for.
Companionship is a good fit when your loved one spends most of the day alone. Respite care is a good fit when you are the main caregiver and you feel worn out, or you need to work, travel or take care of your own health.

Families often ask us these questions about companionship and respite care.
How short can a respite visit be?
Tell us what you need during your free home assessment, and we will build a schedule around it, from a few hours to around-the-clock coverage.
Can companionship be added to other services?
Yes. Most care plans mix companionship with personal care or homemaker services in the same visit.
Our caregivers also help with these services.
Every family is different, so every care plan is different too.
