Frequently Asked Questions
Respite care is essentially fill-in care for family caregivers. For instance, a retired husband and wife may live together, and the wife is responsible for helping with many daily needs. The wife must leave town for a few days for a graduation or a funeral, but such a journey would be too burdensome for the husband. That family would call Bludot to arrange respite care for the husband while the wife is away.
Bludot can staff a home on the same day in most cases and by the next day in ALL cases. This is a swift response to the need for private duty and the personal care industry.
