True Amore Family Respite Program
Supporting Family Caregivers Living with Dementia
Caring for a loved one living with dementia is one of life's greatest challenges. If you're a family caregiver, you deserve support. That's why we created the True Amore Family Respite Program. Qualifying families can receive one complimentary 4-hour companionship visit where our compassionate caregiver will spend meaningful time with your loved one while you take time to rest, recharge, or care for yourself.

Why Families Trust True Amore Home Care
Dementia affects the entire family. Our approach to care begins with listening, to your concerns, your needs, and your hopes for your loved one. We believe that quality dementia care is built on genuine connection and deep respect for the person, not just their diagnosis.
Compassion
We approach every interaction with genuine warmth and understanding, recognizing the emotional weight of your caregiving journey.
Patience
Patience is at the heart of dementia care. We take time to connect and communicate in ways that feel natural and comfortable.
Reliability
You can count on us to show up, be present, and follow through with the commitment we've made to your family.
Personalized Care
Every person is unique. We learn about your loved one's interests, preferences, and personality to provide truly individualized care.
Dignity
We honor the dignity, autonomy, and worth of each person we care for, regardless of their cognitive abilities.
Family-Centered Approach
You're not just a client, you're part of the True Amore family. We prioritize what matters most to you and your loved one.
Our Dementia Care Philosophy
We believe that meaningful dementia care is focused on the person, not the diagnosis. Our caregivers are trained to see beyond the symptoms and connect with the individual, their history, their personality, their values, and their capacity for joy and connection.
Every interaction is an opportunity to affirm dignity, build trust, and create moments of genuine human connection. This is how we practice care with compassion.

Do I need to meet income requirements?
▼We evaluate each application individually based on caregiving need and circumstances, not solely on income. We encourage all family caregivers to apply, as we want to support those who need it most.
Is this ongoing home care?
▼The Family Respite Program offers one complimentary 4-hour visit. If you'd like ongoing care support after your respite visit, we'd be happy to discuss our full range of home care services with you.
Is there a waiting list?
▼Because the number of respite visits available each month is limited, there may be a waiting list depending on current demand. We encourage you to apply early so we can review your application and communicate the timeline with you.
What if my loved one needs help with bathing or toileting?
▼The Family Respite Program focuses on companionship and meaningful engagement. Our caregivers can provide assistance with activities of daily living if needed, and we'll discuss the specific care needs and comfort level for your loved one during the scheduling process.
Can I stay home during the visit?
▼The respite visit is designed to give you time away. We recommend leaving during the four hours so you can truly recharge. However, we understand each family's comfort level is different, and we can discuss what works best for your situation.
Are your caregivers trained to work with people living with dementia?
▼Yes. All True Amore caregivers receive specialized training in dementia care, including person-centered approaches, communication strategies, and behavioral support. We take dementia care education seriously.
What if my loved one becomes anxious when I leave?
▼Separation anxiety is common in dementia. Our caregivers are trained to handle this sensitively. We'll prepare for your loved one's comfort, use calming techniques, and engage them in activities they enjoy. We'll also provide you with updates and support.
Our Commitment to the Community
"We see you."
"We appreciate everything you do."
"You deserve support too."
Family caregivers of people living with dementia devote thousands of hours each year to the care and support of their loved ones. That sacrifice deserves recognition and support. The True Amore Family Respite Program exists because we believe family caregivers shouldn't have to do this alone. You're not alone. We're here to support you.
"A daughter was able to use her four respite hours to attend her own cancer screening, something she had postponed for nearly a year due to caregiving responsibilities. She finally took care of herself, knowing her mom was in compassionate hands."
"A husband caring for his wife with Alzheimer's finally had an afternoon free to visit his grandchildren, something he hadn't been able to do in months. Those four hours reconnected him with joy and family, giving him renewed strength for his caregiving role."
