Passages is a caregiver resource center focusing on education and support for those caring for someone suffering from a cognitive impairment such as Dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, Traumatic Brain In - jury, etc... When funding is available and for those who qualify, they can provide caregivers to come into the home and relieve the primary caregiver. This is called respite care. Call for more information.

Outside the Home

You can also choose to place your loved one in an assisted living facility/residential care for respite care. Some specialize in memory care. These are 24-hour non-medical care facilities. They will typically be able to accommodate someone for respite as long as there is an available room and the pre-admission requirements are completed (Physician’s Report, Covid-19 & Tuberculosis Test). The cost for respite in a care home is a rate you pay per day and can range from $150-$250. Some will have a one-two week minimum stay. Also see, Assisted Living/Residential Care Facilities Pages.
