| Screening and background checks | Inland Respite | Inland Respite |
| Training and certification | Inland Respite | Inland Respite |
| Payroll, timekeeping, documentation | Inland Respite | Inland Respite |
| Typical fit | Families starting fresh, or needing coverage quickly | Families with a relative or friend already helping |
What a care provider does in your home
- Companion care, including conversation, activities and supervision
- Help with daily living needs such as eating and bathing
- Support with daily tasks and household routines
- Keeping the home environment safe during the shift
- Scheduled relief for parents, guardians and family caregivers
What respite care is not
Respite is non-medical. Care providers do not administer medication, perform nursing tasks or provide medical treatment. If your family member needs skilled nursing, tell your service coordinator so the right vendor is authorized.
