Understanding respite care in Massachusetts
Respite care is a short stay in a certified or licensed community — a week or two — that gives a family caregiver a break, covers a recovery, or lets a family try a community before committing.
It is provided within EOEA-certified Assisted Living Residences or DPH-licensed nursing homes under the same rules as long-term stays. A typical monthly range is $220 to $420 a day.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- the minimum stay and what's included in the daily rate
- whether a respite stay can convert to permanent if it goes well
- how quickly a room can be arranged
