For Gainesville, FL & the Surrounding Area

Home by Choice is happy to rise to the occasion for short-term, respite care situations. Primary caregivers have needs and emergencies too; they may need to travel, need additional help, or simply need to take time off to take care of themselves. Whatever the case may be, the respite care team at Home by Choice can arrange a temporary schedule for your loved one in Gainesville, FL.


Some of the services included in our respite/short-term care include: 

  • Running Errands to Get Groceries & Medications
  • Escort to Follow-Up Appointments
  • Fixing Meals/Snacks
  • Reminding Clients to Do Prescribed Exercises
  • Assisting With Bathing
  • Getting Items for the Client (avoiding the need for them to get up and down unnecessarily)

What is Respite Care?

The AARP estimates that nearly 40 million family members provide unpaid care to an adult; over half of these caregivers report that a decline in their own health impedes their ability to provide proper care. While caring for your senior loved one is likely immensely rewarding, it will come with its challenges as well. It's important to take necessary breaks to take care of yourself so you can be fully present and continue to find joy in your role. This is where respite care comes in; our services are designed to fill in the blanks when regular caregivers cannot be present. You can arrange for us to come for a few hours every week, or provide full coverage on a short-term basis. This allows you to take some time for yourself and gives you the time away you need to come back refreshed.
