Respite Care in Los Angeles
You have not had a full night of sleep in months. You cancelled the trip. You have started snapping at the person you are caring for, and then feeling terrible about it for the rest of the day.
This page is not about your mother. It is about you.
Respite care is short-term, in-home care that covers you so you can step away. A few hours. A weekend. Two weeks while you are out of town. Premier Home Care Services provides respite care across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley from our office in Chatsworth. We are licensed by the California Department of Social Services as a Home Care Organization, and we are bonded and insured.

Taking a Break Is Not Quitting
Most people who call us start by apologizing.
They explain that they can handle it, that they just need a little help right now, that they feel guilty even asking. Almost every family caregiver we meet says some version of this.
Here is the part worth hearing: caregivers who take regular breaks last longer and do the job better. The ones who never step away are the ones who end up in the emergency room themselves, or who move a parent into a facility two years earlier than they had to, because they hit a wall and there was nothing left.
Rest is not the opposite of caregiving. It is what makes long-term caregiving possible.
When Families Call Us for Respite
You are going out of town
A wedding, a work trip, a vacation you have postponed twice. You need someone in the house the entire time you are gone.
You are having surgery or you are sick
The person who normally provides the care suddenly cannot. This is the call we get most often on short notice.
You are working
You are covering days yourself and you cannot keep taking time off.
You are burned out
Nothing dramatic happened. You are just done, and you know it, and you need a standing block of hours every week that belongs to you.
Something changed after a hospital stay
Your dad came home needing more help than anyone expected, and the family is scrambling to cover it while you figure out the long-term plan.
The holidays
Family in town, a house full of people, and a parent with dementia who does much worse in the noise and disruption.
