Respite Care (Short-Term Stays)

Who is Looking After the Caregiver!

Scripture says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

UnIess we take heed to Scripture, caring for a loved one with special needs can become an arduous chore where fatigue and resentment may overpower love and good intentions.  Taking a break every once and a while is essential to providing the type of care needed for individuals suffering with debilitating illnesses.   Doing so can improve the health of the caregiver and ensure that they will be able to continue in this role for as long as possible.

Letting Alabaster take care of your loved one while you are away on a vacation, business trip or just a much needed short break is the solution we offer.  We also offer this service as an option for seniors needing additional assistance during an illness or while recuperating.
