Respite Care
Respite care is a much-needed service that provides temporary relief to primary caregivers, allowing them to recharge and take care of their own needs while ensuring the safety and security of their loved ones.
This service can be provided either in the individual’s home or in the respite provider’s home. Respite care is available under various payment options, including Medical Assistance Home and Community-Based Services (waiver programs) and private pay.
Our respite care services are available throughout Roseville, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the broader Twin Cities metro area.

F.A.Q.
Respite is intended as a break for the client’s Primary Caregiver(s). Depending on the number of Respite hours available, this break could be, for example, for a few hours, or even an entire weekend, including overnights.
While Respite staff are not allowed to work overtime on a consistent weekly basis, Safeway Home Health Care does recognize that, based on the intention of the service (a break for the Primary Caregiver), there may be times when a respite staff member is needed to cover a longer than typical break. Your assigned Safeway Home Health Care 245D Service Coordinator will help you understand when overtime is an option under Respite Services.
