Respite companionship for an older adult (non-medical, daytime)
An independent companion can provide daytime company so you can rest; you stay the household employer in California.
Prices are set by each independent companion and shown before you pay.
Build a small break into the week
- Pick one regular 2 to 4 hour window in the day.
- Ask a trusted friend, relative or neighbor first.
- Call your local Alzheimer's Association chapter or area agency on aging about respite programs.
- Write a one-page note about your parent's routine, likes and contacts.
- Try a short trial visit while you are home.
Safety: Companions here do non-medical, daytime visits only; no personal care, no overnight.
Stop and call a pro if: You feel unsafe, hopeless or unable to cope: call or text 988.
