Respite Care Services in Denver County
Family caregivers need breaks from time-to-time to tend to their own needs. Home health aides can fill in so that the care recipient remains safe while the family caregiver is away.
Entrusting your loved one’s care to someone else can be difficult. With Comfort Keepers®, you can trust that he or she will be in capable hands and will receive the highest quality of in-home care. Our specially trained caregivers will stay with your loved one while you take care of yourself, for as much or as little time as you need. And, every client receives a custom care plan that aims to engage them in intellectual, physical and emotional exercises and activities to increase engagement and connection.
Respite care can help you find the time you need to take care of yourself as a caregiver. You can be assured that everything is being done correctly in your absence, and be free to go to the dentist, get a good night's sleep, or spend some time with family and friends.
Our goal is to care for every senior like they are a member of our own family, making Comfort Keepers of Denver the best choice for yours.

What is Respite Care?
Respite care is defined as the transfer of primary caregiving responsibilities to another person, typically a professional caregiver, relative or friend, in order for primary caregivers to receive temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities.
Respite care can take many forms – some family caregivers choose to have someone take on caregiver duties for a few hours a week or a few hours a day. Respite care can also be used for longer periods of time to accommodate an extended break or vacation.
At Comfort Keepers, we offer customized services and flexible scheduling that gives family caregivers a well-deserved break. Care can be scheduled as-needed or as part of a weekly routine. Our specially trained Comfort Keepers® help seniors live comfortably and safely in their own homes while engaging them in intellectual, physical and emotional interactions that make their days better.
What You Need to Know When Caring for a Senior Loved One
Caring for a senior loved one is both rewarding and challenging. Family caregivers need to remember that it’s important to take necessary breaks and practice self-care so they can ensure that they continue to find joy in their role.
It’s important to recognize that being a family caregiver can come with feelings of loss, stress and physical strain. Caregivers risk their own health and wellbeing when they don’t account for their own needs or take a break when necessary, and respite care provides a convenient solution for many families.
