Prefer to talk? 706-204-9332Yes, Cedar Grove Private Home Care provides respite care throughout Northeast and Metro Georgia. A dedicated caregiver steps in for planned hours, days, or longer stretches so family caregivers can rest, travel, or handle other responsibilities, while your loved one continues receiving personal care, companionship, and daily support at home. To start, call 706-204-9332 or request a free care consultation; we'll build a respite schedule around your family's routine.
Caring for an aging parent, a spouse recovering from illness, or a family member with a disability is rewarding, but it is also exhausting work that rarely pauses. Cedar Grove Private Home Care offers respite care designed to give family caregivers real breathing room, whether you need a few hours to run errands, a weekend away, or ongoing relief built into your weekly routine.
Our caregivers step into the home and continue the rhythms your loved one already knows, mealtimes, medication reminders, favorite activities, so the transition feels natural rather than disruptive. We serve families throughout Northeast and Metro Georgia from our Crawford base, and every respite plan starts with a free consultation to understand your loved one's needs and your own schedule.
Talk With a Care Coordinator
Respite care is temporary, flexible support that fills in for the primary family caregiver. Depending on what your loved one needs, that can include personal care such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and help with mobility or transfers, along with medication reminders, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. It can also be simpler companion or sitter care for someone who mainly needs supervision, conversation, and a friendly presence while family is away.
Because every family's situation is different, Cedar Grove builds respite around your existing routine rather than a fixed package. Some families use respite for a few hours a week so a spouse can attend appointments or run errands; others need coverage for a short trip or recovery period after surgery. We also offer non-medical transportation during respite visits, so errands, pharmacy pickups, and appointments can still happen even while you're unavailable.
Cedar Grove Private Home Care is based at 245 South Woodlawn Dr. in Crawford, right in Oglethorpe County, and we provide respite care across eight counties in Northeast and Metro Georgia. That includes Oglethorpe, Clarke, Oconee, Jackson, Madison, Morgan, Elbert, and Gwinnett counties, covering communities from Athens and Watkinsville to Winder, Monroe, and beyond. Being locally based means our team understands the small-town pace of Crawford as well as the busier corridors near Metro Georgia.
Whether your loved one lives on a quiet road outside Crawford or closer to a larger hub like Athens, our caregivers travel throughout the service area to provide consistent respite coverage. We work with families across this wide footprint precisely because local caregivers who know the region can get to appointments, pharmacies, and homes efficiently, keeping your loved one's routine steady no matter which county you're in.
Cedar Grove accepts several ways to pay for respite care so families can choose what fits their situation. Many families pay privately, scheduling respite hours as needed without a long-term commitment. Others use long-term care insurance policies that include home care benefits, and we can help you understand what documentation your respite visits may require for reimbursement.
For veterans, VA benefits may help cover respite care costs, and we encourage families to ask about eligibility during the free consultation. Georgia Medicaid waiver programs, including CCSP and SOURCE, may also apply for qualifying seniors and adults with disabilities who need respite support as part of a broader home care plan. We'll talk through your specific payment situation so there are no surprises before care begins.
Respite doesn't mean lower-quality care, it means the same attentive support your loved one is used to, just provided temporarily by someone else. If your family member has specific needs, recovering from an illness or injury, managing mobility limitations, or living with a disability, Cedar Grove builds an individualized plan so the respite caregiver knows exactly how to help, from transfers and toileting assistance to meal preparation that matches dietary needs.
This matters most when respite is used for longer stretches, like a caregiver's vacation or a hospital stay for the primary caregiver. We take time upfront to document routines, preferences, and any specialty care considerations, so continuity doesn't break down just because the usual caregiver stepped away. The goal is for your loved one to feel cared for, not just supervised, during every respite visit.
Whether your family is paying privately or using veteran benefits, a Cedar Grove care coordinator will walk you through it.

Jennifer GordonClient familyWe recommend reaching out as soon as you know you'll need relief so we can schedule a free consultation and match a caregiver to your loved one's routine. While we can't promise same-day starts, we work to accommodate family timelines, including recurring weekly respite or one-time coverage for trips or appointments.
Yes. Our caregivers can provide non-medical transportation during respite visits, including rides to medical appointments, the pharmacy, or errands. This is especially helpful when the primary caregiver is away and your loved one still has commitments that need to be kept during that time.
Respite care through Cedar Grove is flexible and can range from a few hours a week to multi-day coverage. Families in Crawford, Athens, Winder, and surrounding counties use respite differently depending on whether they need occasional breaks or coverage for a specific event like travel or surgery recovery.
We aim for consistency so your loved one builds familiarity and trust with their caregiver, especially for recurring respite schedules. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your loved one's needs and preferences to match them with a caregiver suited to provide steady, dependable respite support.
