Caring for an aging loved one with complex needs can feel like a full-time job—or even a 24/7 commitment. You’re not alone; according to a survey conducted by American labor department, over 40 million Americans provide unpaid elder care each year.
But what happens when you need to run important errands, attend a business meeting, take a vacation, or simply take a breather? Where can you turn for support?
With Highly Favored Family LLC, you can gain peace of mind knowing your loved one is in capable, experienced hands—even for a brief time.
What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is short-term or temporary home care that provides a much-needed break from your primary caregiver duties. With the support of an experienced care provider, you’ll have time to focus on work, attend to personal tasks, or reconnect with family and friends.
Respite care can also help recharge your energy and reduce the risk of “caregiver burnout”, a common concern when the stress and emotional strain of caregiving become overwhelming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need to Hire Respite Care Services?
No matter how overwhelmed, exhausted, or strained you may feel, you might still resist the idea of respite care—often because of feelings of guilt. You may feel that by hiring outside caregivers, you’re failing your loved one during a time of great need.
Here’s another perspective to consider: if you’re constantly stressed and exhausted, you may become less patient, more prone to mistakes, and at greater risk of total burnout.
Respite care services can make caregiving more manageable by giving you time to rest and care for yourself. Ultimately, taking care of your own well-being is one of the best things you can do for your loved one.
Will My Loved One Get the Same Level of Care?
You know your loved one better than anyone else, so it’s natural to worry that a respite caregiver may not provide the same level of care you do.
However, for our clients, that concern quickly fades when they experience the dedication and professionalism of a Highly Favored Family LLC caregiver.
We take extraordinary pride in our work, approaching every client with an exceptional level of care, respect, and compassion—just as you would for your loved one.
How Will Caregivers Respond to My Loved One’s Unique Needs?
Caregiving is an incredibly personal experience. Every individual has unique needs, limitations, and preferences, which is why care must be customized on a person-to-person basis.
At Highly Favored Family LLC, we will personalize your loved one’s care plan and match them with a compassionate caregiver who is best suited to support their specific needs.
Can My Family Afford Respite Services?
Respite care services, like other types of home care, are typically provided on an hourly basis. While hourly rates and minimum visit lengths may vary, this approach offers you financial flexibility when scheduling care.
At Highly Favored Family LLC, we are happy to work with you to create a care plan that meets your needs while helping to minimize costs where possible.
