The calls we get from Phoenix
Phoenix is a city full of family caregivers who have been doing this alone for too long. Respite care is often the first call we get, and it is almost always the right place to start. In Arcadia, North Central Phoenix, and Ahwatukee, many of our respite clients are spouses caring for a partner with Parkinson's, dementia, or post-stroke mobility needs. In Laveen and Sunnyslope, many are working adults caring for a parent who moved in after a health event.
Phoenix respite shifts typically begin at 4 hours twice a week, which is often enough to meaningfully shift how the primary caregiver feels about the week ahead. From there, many families expand as trust with the caregiver grows. Overnight respite is available across Phoenix and is one of the highest-value shifts we offer. A full night of uninterrupted sleep can be transformative for a spouse who has been waking up multiple times a night.
Multi-day respite for travel, recovery, or a family event is common too, and we recommend booking at least a week ahead so we can match the right caregiver. Every Wellby respite caregiver in Phoenix is a W-2 employee, insured and bonded, and matched on personality as well as schedule.
What respite care covers in Phoenix
Respite care is the simplest Wellby engagement. You tell us what days and hours you want covered, and we assign a caregiver who fits your family. Most respite starts at a four-hour minimum shift. Many clients expand to more hours as the break changes how they feel about the week ahead.
