Information About Respite Care
Do You Need Respite Services?
Respite care is a short break from caregiving responsibilities. Caregivers should use respite services to give themselves the opportunity to rest and recharge.
End of Life Companionship
Shanen, the respite caregiver of La Crosse, is an end-of-life companion. This form of respite care provides non-medical, holistic support and comfort to a dying person and their family. Including education and guidance as well as emotional, spiritual, or practical care, from as early as initial diagnosis through bereavement.
Shanen can help ease talking about death & dying and make it more comfortable. It is okay if you don’t know how to ask for or offer support when someone you love is dying; as an end-of-life companion, Shanen can help. Having accompanied individuals and families before, during, and after the time of transition from this world allows her to ease this transition for you. She supports individuals, families, and significant others during the end-of-life process.
