SERVICES

MODERATE   TEMPORARY   CARE

*Medicare will not pay for respite costs but the Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) jointly offered with Medicaid may pay for respite services for those who qualify.

The number of Americans aged 65+ is projected to experience a rapid increase to over 88 million in 2050, With that growth comes the need for long-term care options, including respite. Respite care is a short-term care option intended to provide a break for both caregivers and those they support to provide each party the opportunity to recharge.
