Respite Care

Respite Care is temporary care to provide family caregivers relief from the full-time care they have been providing for a loved one. Whether our caregiver is needed for just a few hours a day or 24/7 for a full week while the family takes a vacation, we are here to help. At Melos Home Care, our services are contract-free and Respite Care can be arranged on a temporary basis with no obligation to continue home services once we are no longer needed.
