At Priyajeewaka Nursing Home, we understand that caregiving is no easy task. Long hours of vigilant, round-the-clock care can take a toll on your body and mind. Whether your loved one requires care due to a chronic illness, disability, or any other special need, you may need a break to refresh yourself, attend to other duties, or manage a sudden emergency. This is where our respite care services come into effect.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a service designed to provide primary caregivers with short-term breaks from daily caregiving responsibilities. Whether for a few hours or several days or weeks, trained professionals take over caregiving duties, providing everything from medication assistance to companionship and specialized care.

Respite care is more than a necessity; it is a good practice for all caregivers, especially those caring for individuals with additional medical needs such as:

• Intellectual or developmental disabilities

• Terminal illnesses

• Dementia

• Mental health disorders

• Chronic health conditions
