Caring for a loved one at the end of life is one of the most selfless acts of love — but it can also be emotionally and physically exhausting. Respite Care at Richmed Hospice Services offers families a temporary, restorative break while ensuring the patient continues to receive professional, compassionate hospice care in a licensed facility.
What’s Included
- Short-term admission (typically up to 5 days) to an approved inpatient facility
- Full hospice team oversight: nurses, aides, and social workers
- Medication management, comfort care, and 24-hour supervision
- Emotional support for family members to recharge and regroup
- Coordination of transportation and seamless return home after the respite period
Benefits for Patients & Families
Respite Care prevents burnout and ensures the family caregiver’s well-being remains a priority. It also provides patients a safe, comfortable environment surrounded by skilled professionals who continue their established plan of care.
When to Consider Respite Care
When caregivers feel physically or emotionally drained, have personal obligations, or simply need time to rest, Respite Care offers a trusted, temporary alternative without interruption in quality care.

Our Approach to Every Life We Touch
Every patient’s story is unique, and that’s why our care begins with listening. We take time to understand not just the diagnosis, but the person behind it — their values, their hopes, and the moments that matter most. Through collaboration between nurses, physicians, aides, social workers, and chaplains, we build a plan that honors each individual’s rhythm and routine. It’s not about adding days to life — it’s about adding life to every day.
