Questions families ask
What is a respite stay?
A short stay for an older adult at a care home, so the family member who usually provides care can take a break. Your loved one has everyday support day and night while you are away.
How long can a stay last?
Stays are short-term. Tell us the dates you have in mind and the reason, and we’ll talk through what is possible.
Is this medical care?
No. A respite stay covers everyday personal support, not nursing or medical care. Health questions and medication changes stay with your loved one’s doctor.
What should we pack?
You’ll go over this before the stay. Families usually bring current medications and instructions, clothes, toiletries, any walker or cane used at home, and a few familiar things from home.
Who provides the care?
A stay may be arranged directly or referred to an independent care home on Oahu. You will be told where your loved one will stay before anything is booked. The Referral Marketing Disclosure explains how this works.
