⭐ #1 Home Care Agency in Philadelphia Area and Suburbs — Seniors · Pediatric · Veterans
You are exhausted, and your loved one deserves better than an exhausted caregiver. A-Team respite care gives family caregivers a planned break, hourly, overnight, weekend, or weeks at a time, while a trained, RN-supervised caregiver steps in.
Home › Respite Care
If you are an adult family member already providing the daily care, you may qualify to be paid as the caregiver through A-Team’s Family Caregiver Program, including shifts where you are resting or working.
TYPES OF RELIEF
Flexible relief built around the primary caregiver’s life, from a few hours to multi-week coverage, all RN-supervised.

WHO RESPITE CARE IS FOR
Most A-Team respite clients are family caregivers in one of these four situations.
You have been your spouse’s caregiver for two years and sleep in the recliner because you can’t sleep through the night anymore. You need real rest.
You leave your parent in the morning with anxiety in your chest and come home to a second shift. Respite covers the hours you can’t.
A graduation, an out-of-state wedding, or your own surgery that can’t be postponed. A-Team covers the days you have to be away.
Caregiver burnout peaks at the holidays. When everyone else is at the table, A-Team makes sure you can be too.
HOW IT WORKS
From your first call to your first relief shift, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
Call (215) 490-9994. We listen to your schedule, discuss which hours you need covered, and review coverage options.
A registered nurse meets your loved one and writes a care plan specific to the respite hours. No charge.
We match a state-trained caregiver by schedule, language, and care needs, assigning the same caregiver for recurring hours where possible.
Your first shift starts within 24 to 48 hours. Recurring weekly hours are scheduled to your calendar; vacation coverage is arranged ahead.
