Caregiver Relief Capitol House is fully equipped to provide the best available respite care in the times you may need it most. Sometimes, a caregiver’s schedule requires they simply need a break. We can assist you in transferring the patient to Capitol House during the respite period. Capitol House will contract with a local hospice or trained caregiver to monitor the patients’ comfort level while the primary caregiver is away. You will have the assurance that caring people, familiar with the patient’s needs, will provide the best available care to your loved one.
