Home for the Holidays…And Everyday After.

The holidays are meant to be a time of comfort, joy, and connection. But for families who care for a loved one at home, the season can also bring added stress and exhaustion. That’s why our Home for the Holidays…And Everyday After campaign highlights one simple message: Stay Present. Stay Family. Let Cornerstone take care of the care.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is short-term care designed to give family caregivers a much-needed break. Whether it’s for a few hours, a few days, or longer, a trained caregiver steps in to provide support, helping with daily activities, companionship, and personal care. It’s flexible, compassionate, and designed around your needs.

At Cornerstone Caregiving, we make respite care simple. There are no contracts and no minimum hours required, just care when you need it.

Why Respite Care Matters During the Holidays

The holidays can be a busy time filled with travel, gatherings, and planning. For those providing full-time care, it can be hard to balance it all. Respite care allows families to enjoy quality time together without the constant worry of caregiving tasks.

With the help of a respite caregiver, families can:

• Focus on being present during holiday celebrations.
• Feel confident their loved one is receiving professional, compassionate care.
• Prevent burnout and stress during a busy season.

It’s a small step that helps everyone, because when caregivers are supported, loved ones thrive too.

Care That Fits Around You

Every family’s needs are different. Some just need a few hours to run errands or prepare for guests. Others might need support for a weekend while they travel. Our respite care services are built around your schedule, so you can rest easy knowing help is always available when you need it most.

Understanding Palliative Care

While respite care offers short-term relief for family caregivers, some families face ongoing health challenges that require a different kind of support. That’s where palliative care comes in, providing an added layer of care for those living with serious or chronic illnesses.

Palliative care is specialized medical support that focuses on improving quality of life by managing symptoms, easing discomfort, and coordinating care among healthcare providers. It’s not limited to end-of-life situations, it’s about helping individuals live each day as comfortably and fully as possible.

During the holidays and throughout the year, palliative care helps families spend more meaningful time together, confident that their loved one’s medical and personal needs are being thoughtfully addressed.
