Not a Referral Service

We do not provide direct respite care services or make referrals to specific providers. Our state-specific pages include links to official Area Agency on Aging websites and established provider networks where you can find vetted respite care options in your area.

AI-Generated Images

Images on this site are created using AI image generation technology (Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview). These images are designed to illustrate caregiving scenarios in a respectful, realistic manner. They do not depict actual caregivers, care recipients, or real respite care situations.

Accuracy and Updates

We strive to maintain accurate, current information about respite care costs, programs, and resources. However, respite care services, funding programs, and eligibility requirements change over time. Each article displays a "Last Updated" date. Always verify current information with official sources and local agencies.

Local Provider Information

Our state-specific pages (Ohio and Maryland) include information about local professional in-home care providers in those regions. These are established providers with locations serving southeastern Ohio and Southern Maryland that offer respite care services.

These references are provided as examples of available respite care providers in those areas. Families should research multiple providers, ask questions, check references, and choose the respite care option that best fits their needs.

Commitment to Caregivers

Family caregiving is one of the most challenging and important roles anyone can undertake. We're committed to providing clear, helpful information that empowers caregivers to find the support they need and deserve.

If you have suggestions for topics we should cover or questions we haven't addressed, we welcome your feedback to help us better serve the caregiving community.
