Caring for the Caregiver
Southfield's family caregivers often put themselves last. They cancel their own doctor's appointments, stop exercising, and withdraw from social activities. Over time, this self-neglect compounds into serious health problems. Our scheduled respite care ensures you have consistent weekly time for medical appointments, exercise, socializing, and simple rest — the maintenance your body and mind require.
Affordable Weekly Relief
At 12 hours per week — our minimum — respite care in the Southfield area costs approximately $348–$444 weekly, based on the $29–$37 per hour area home care companies typically charge for personal care services. For many families, this represents a fraction of the cost of reducing work hours or the medical expenses that result from caregiver burnout. It's an investment in sustainability.
Respite Adjacent to Ascension Providence Southfield
Many Southfield respite clients have ongoing care with physicians at Ascension Providence Hospital Southfield. We schedule respite hours around appointment days — caregiver in the house from 9 a.m. so you can drop your father at imaging by 10:30, with the caregiver still there when you return. The coordination is logistical, not medical: we don't replace the physician's plan, we make it easier for you to follow it.
Backup Caregivers, Not a Backup Plan
Southfield families have told us the worst part of using respite care elsewhere is the no-show. We solve this by assigning a primary caregiver and a vetted backup who has already met your loved one. If the primary is sick, the backup steps in — not a random fill-in pulled off a roster you've never seen.
RN-Reviewed Plans, BBB A+, LARA Licensed
Every Southfield respite plan is reviewed by Greg Adair, our Registered Nurse. The agency carries an A+ BBB rating, is licensed by Michigan LARA, and has been operating since 1989. Those aren't marketing claims — they're the bare minimum we'd want if it were our own parent in the recliner.
