What is respite care?
Respite care allows families and other caregivers of Community PedsCare® patients to take a break or “respite” from caregiving duties for short periods of time so they can tend to other important activities. From graduations to short vacations and even grocery shopping and socializing, respite care allows family members to enjoy simple pleasures and complete routine tasks that aren’t so simple or routine when around-the-clock care is required. During respite care, a specially trained pediatric nurse tends to the child’s needs, providing peace of mind to family members that their child is in good hands.

"Respite for me gives my mind a much-needed break. It allows me time to go have coffee with friends. I can go shopping without worrying, knowing that my child is being cared for by a qualified person. This service has been such a blessing. I can now plan outings with friends! Thank you so much for offering caretakers this service." - A PēdsCare Caregiver
