Revolutionize Senior Wellbeing with Short Stays Respite Care
Cost Considerations and Financial Assistance
While the cost of respite care can vary based on location and the level of care required, it is generally more affordable than long-term care options. According to a recent survey, the average daily rate for adult day health care is approximately $78, while the rate for in-home care is about $150 per day1. Many facilities offer flexible pricing plans and accept various forms of payment, including long-term care insurance and veterans’ benefits, making it easier for families to afford these services.
For those seeking financial assistance, several programs and grants are available to help offset the costs of respite care. Medicare, Medicaid, and some state-funded programs provide coverage for short-term stays in specific circumstances2. It's advisable to visit websites of local care providers to see these options and understand the specific financial aid they might offer.
