Respite Care for Caregivers

The purpose of the Respite Care Program is to provide a volunteer, a Tellico Village neighbor, who will stay with your loved one and allow you, the caregiver, to have personal private time to destress from your role as a caregiver and savor a few hours of relaxation.

When a caregiver is committed 24 hours 7 days a week to caring for and managing the physical, medical and emotional needs of a loved one, it can be stressful and or debilitating to the physical, emotional and psychological stability of the caregiver. It can also have a negative impact on your loved one.

We can arrange to give you a short break if you live in Tellico Village. Please call the STAYinTV number 865-458-7084 and leave a message on the Respite Care for Caregivers line (which is #4) if you would like to learn how this program can help you. A coordinator will return your call and discuss what services we offer. Please call this number to if you are interested in becoming a volunteer.

All services are provided by volunteers. There is a $20.00 registration fee.
