Respite Care as an Entry Service
Why respite care is the easiest first service for new home care agencies and how to build it into longer engagements.
Respite care gives family caregivers a break — and gives your agency a low-pressure way to prove itself.
Why it converts Once a family trusts you with 4 hours, they trust you with 40. Respite is the cheapest customer acquisition in home care.
How to package it 4-hour, 8-hour, weekend, and overnight bundles. Flat-rate pricing reduces friction.
Where to find clients Alzheimer's Association local chapters, caregiver support groups, churches, and VA respite benefits.
Convert to ongoing care Always end the respite shift with a "next visit" suggestion. Conversion rates of 35–50% are normal.
