What is respite care?

Caregiver burnout is a leading reason families transition to assisted living prematurely. Respite care — in any form — extends the time a senior can remain at home by preventing caregiver collapse. Traditional respite options include adult day programs ($70-100/day), in-home aides ($20-30/hour), and short-term facility stays ($150-300/day). Technology-based respite like daily AI check-in calls offers a more affordable and consistent form of relief — giving the caregiver confidence that their parent is being checked on every single day, even when they cannot call themselves.
