Respite Care

South Shore Health & Rehabilitation Center helps you take the time you need to take care of yourself. Millions of Americans have the responsibility of taking care of family members with everything from disabilities to chronic illnesses at home. The respite care we offer for caregivers gives them a much-needed break from a few days to a few weeks.

We know that family, while they may take great pride in caring for their loved ones at home, there is physical, emotional and even financial consideration that can become overwhelming.

In a recent study, caregivers were more likely to suffer health issues, other chronic conditions or a disability that non-caregivers do not experience. Additionally, caregivers who had stress-related problems are more apt to pass earlier than non-caregivers Respite care provides a short-term solution and provides temporary nursing care in a home-like setting for family members you care for on a day to day basis.

We give you the peace of mind you need knowing your family members are cared for 24-hours a day by a professional, dedicated staff of medical professionals. Moreover, research has shown that providing respite care can have a positive effect on the health of the caregiver.
