How RespiteAway works

RespiteAway helps caregivers find licensed care facilities offering short-term respite stays. We connect you with the facility. The facility confirms the stay and manages it directly.

  1. Step 1

    Search nearby care facilities

    Browse licensed care facilities that offer short-term respite stays. Filter by city, care needs, and amenities.

  2. Step 2

    Request a stay

    Share the dates you need and a short summary of the care recipient's needs. There is no payment at this step.

  3. Step 3

    Facility reviews and responds

    The facility reviews your request and replies, usually within 24 hours. If they can host the stay, they confirm directly with you.

  4. Step 4

    Coordinate the stay with the facility

    Payment, intake paperwork, and cancellation terms are handled by the facility under their own process. RespiteAway is how you find them and start the conversation.

What RespiteAway is, and is not

RespiteAway is a directory and request tool. We are not a care provider, a placement agency, or an emergency service. Each facility holds its own licensing and decides which care needs it can support.

For urgent or medically complex situations, contact facilities directly and consult your healthcare team about appropriate options.
