Professional Respite Care Services in Warrenton, Locust Grove, Nokesville, Culpeper County and Fauquier County

The purpose of respite care is to provide temporary relief for primary family caregivers, allowing them to take a much-needed break from the daily responsibilities of caregiving. Friends, other family members, volunteers or a professional respite care provider, who can provide in-home care at a private residence as well as a variety of healthcare settings, can offer crucial caregiving support. 

Most respite care is funded through private pay. Many insurance plans do not cover respite care services, but some specific services may be covered by Medicare Advantage plans, government programs like Medicaid (which varies by state) or veteran benefits. Because payment options may have certain eligibility requirements and service limitations, your local FirstLight Home Care office can provide guidance to determine the type of respite care services needed and which payment options are available to you. Click here to get personalized pricing.
