Family caregivers give so much. Respite care gives you a real break — a few hours, a weekend, or longer — without any gap in the quality of care your loved one receives.
Respite care is temporary, non-medical home care that gives a family caregiver time away — to rest, handle personal matters, travel, or simply recharge — while a trained KRP Legacy Homecare caregiver steps in to provide continuous, attentive support.
Caregiver burnout is real, and it affects both the caregiver's wellbeing and the quality of care they're able to provide over time. Respite care isn't a luxury; it's a practical way to sustain family caregiving over the long run.
During respite visits, our caregivers provide the same attentive companion care or personal care assistance your loved one is used to, following their existing routines and preferences so the transition feels seamless.
Respite care is billed at our standard Companion Care ($30/hr) or Personal Care Assistance ($32/hr) rates depending on the level of support needed, with a 4-hour minimum per visit. Use our pricing page and cost estimator for a personalized estimate, or call (215) 436-8252.
We provide respite care throughout Philadelphia County, Bucks County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and Chester County.
We recommend scheduling respite care as far in advance as possible, especially for planned events like vacations, but we understand that family caregiver needs can arise quickly. Call us to discuss your timeline and we'll do what we can to accommodate it.
Respite care can be scheduled as a single visit, a recurring weekly break, or an extended period such as a family vacation. It's built around your schedule, not a fixed recurring commitment.
