Respite Care
Respite Care is a short-term service designed to provide temporary relief to primary caregivers, such as family members or friends, caring for someone with health needs, disabilities, or age-related issues. Respite Care can last a few hours, days, or weeks, depending on the caregiver’s requirements and the individual receiving care. The goal is to allow the family caregiver time to rest, recharge, and attend to their own needs while ensuring that their loved one continues to receive quality care and support.

What risk do seniors face without Respite Care?
If an older relative does not receive Respite Care services, several problems can arise, impacting both the individual being cared for and the family caregiver:
- Caregiver Burnout: Without breaks, caregivers may experience exhaustion, stress, and burnout. This can lead to decreased physical and mental health for the caregiver, potentially affecting their ability to provide quality care.
- Decreased Quality of Care: When a caregiver is overwhelmed and exhausted, their care may suffer, leading to oversights and potential neglect of the older relative’s needs.
- Emotional Stress for Both Parties: The continuous cycle of care without relief can lead to emotional stress and mental health issues for both the caregiver and the older relative.

Respite Care can offer substantial benefits to both the older relative receiving care and the primary caregiver, ensuring a harmonious balance between caregiving responsibilities and personal well-being.

Porsha and her team are the BEST!

I needed to have surgery and I needed aftercare assistance, but I had just moved to southern CA, and didn’t know anyone. The 1st place that I called was not responsive at all for three days, but Holly at Golden Care was able to help me right away! The entire “Golden Care” experience was handled with care, it was fast and efficient! If you want things done right the first time, I highly recommend Golden Care!"Incredible service"

Special thanks to Golden Care for holding my family’s hand (sometimes literally) through an incredibly difficult period in taking care of my mother. Everyone from Porsha (owner), Linda (Director) and home aides were all invaluable in their care, compassion, and attentiveness to not only my mom, but my entire family. My mother suffered a massive stroke and needed around the clock care. In less than a day’s time, they had care set up, 24/7 for the next week. They continued to check in, and walk us through some of the more difficult moments, and recommended and coordinated directly with a wonderful hospice company, when the time for that came. Thank you Golden Care for your incredible service and passion for the job."Successful rehabilitation after serious injury"

When Keith suffered the loss of mobility from a traumatic head injury, the physical therapist at his rehabilitation facility could only work with him 3 times a week. Worried about his slow recovery and the pain he was suffering, Keith’s family contacted Golden Care. Our Care Manager connected our team of caregivers with the facility and provided Keith with 24-Hour supervision and care. Through daily physical therapy and around-the-clock support, Keith was able to return to full mobility""Aging safely in the comfort of your home"

Brian’s family knew things were getting serious when he could no longer make it up the stairs to go to bed. They approached him with assisted living facilities but he refused to leave his home. They decided to explore other options, and that’s when they came across Golden Care. Working with our caregivers allowed Brian to avoid assisted living while still getting the care he needs. We started a daily walking regimen with him and prepared nutritious meals that catered to his tastes. It was tiring at first, but now Brian walks his block daily and has no problem climbing the stairs to go to bed."The comforting hand of a Hospice Home Caregiver"

Near the end of her life, Sophie could no longer walk and was dependent on her caregiver Martha to provide the intimate care that her body no longer had the strength for. Martha sat by Sophie’s bedside day and night. Sophie told her intimate stories about her life and they listened to her favorite music together. When it was time for Sophie to go, Martha held her hand and comforted her until the very end."You are a Superstar"

Dear Martha, This is a very belated Thank you for all you did for my mom as she transitioned. Your loving care, your tenderness, your empathy- all above and beyond what I could have hoped for. You are in the right profession, and can never be paid enough for what you do. My family (especially my brother John) think you are a superstar! Thank you! Mary W."In good hands"

You couldn’t ask for more caring and loving people at Golden Care. My mom was 91 and we were determined to keep her at home until it was no longer viable. With the help of Amber and the other caregivers, we were able to do so. I have worked with a few other agencies and due to their lack of response in a timely manner or just not a good fit with caregivers, I was so glad to have found Golden Care. Linda is the BEST at communication. She herself has dealt with aging parents and is so compassionate and helpful. You know your parent is in the best hands with this team.
