How do find respite care in my home for my Mom (94)?
My mother's Long Term Care policies will pay or help pay for respite care for a certain period. I will need to do some traveling and want to know how to find this kind of care 1) in my home, and 2) in an assisted care faciliy.
Respite care is not done in the home. The patient moves to an appropriate facility, based on MD recommendation and evaluation by the facility themselves. Some ALF's will offer one month half off on a trial basis. We did this and mom decided to stay. Be sure you read the policy completely, most have a waiting period before they kick in, as much as 90 days.
