Daytime Respite Care in Boca Raton
A safe, engaging day for them. A real break for you. Planned weekday respite for families in Boca Raton, Highland Beach, Delray Beach and Deerfield Beach — your loved one spends the day with people, meals and activities at 2120 N. Dixie Highway and comes home each evening, so you get your workday, your errands, or your rest back.
When families call us
- You are skipping your own doctor's appointments.
- You cannot remember your last full night of sleep.
- Work is slipping because you are on call at home all day.
- Your loved one is alone and bored for long stretches.
- Family arguments now start with "someone has to watch Mom."
- You have stopped seeing your own friends.
None of that means you are failing. It means the schedule you are carrying was built for two people and you are doing it alone.
What the day looks like
Monday through Friday, your loved one joins a structured day: morning snack, group activities and cognitive games, senior-appropriate exercise, a hot lunch, an afternoon snack, and companionship — with staff supervision at a 6:1 ratio in a social adult day care center. We are not a medical facility; we provide non-medical supervision, cueing and engagement.
Weekdays
Closed the last Thursday of every month and posted holidays.
Rides within our service area
Door-to-door from 2120 N. Dixie Hwy, from $35/day.
Memory-friendly
Enhanced Support tiers for people who need more, after assessment.
What memory-friendly means in practice — the routine, the supervision and the honest limits — is spelled out on our dementia day care page.
What respite costs
Respite uses our regular day program rates — $95/day with a 3-day weekly minimum, or $85/day on the 5-day monthly plan paid in advance. Meals, snacks and activities are included; transportation is priced separately.
Starting is three steps
- Book a tour — Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM–3:00 PM, at least 48 hours ahead.
- Complete the short pre-tour intake so we know who we are meeting.
- Pick your weekly days and start — many families begin about two weeks after the tour, once enrollment requirements, participant review, payment, and scheduling are complete.
Respite care questions families ask
Many respite families are caring for someone with memory changes — that is covered in detail on our dementia and memory support program page.
What is daytime respite care?
Respite care is planned time off for the family caregiver. Your loved one spends the day with us — meals, activities, companionship and supervision — while you work, rest, travel or handle appointments, and comes home at the end of the day.
How much does respite care cost in Boca Raton?
Daytime respite uses our regular day program rates: $95 per day with a 3-day weekly minimum, or $85 per day on the 5-day monthly plan. Door-to-door transportation within our designated service area starts at $35 per day.
Can I use it for just one day?
Our program runs on a 3-day weekly minimum, so we are not a drop-in babysitting service. Most respite families build a steady weekly rhythm — the same days every week — which is also what works best for someone with memory changes.
Do you take people with dementia or Alzheimer's?
Yes. Many of our participants live with memory changes. We are a social adult day care center, not a medical facility, so we provide supervision, cueing, redirection and structured engagement rather than skilled nursing. If someone needs more support, our Enhanced Support tiers exist for exactly that, after an assessment.
How soon can we start?
Tours are by appointment Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, booked at least 48 hours in advance. After the tour and pre-enrollment paperwork, many completed enrollments can begin in about two weeks, depending on program availability, required documentation, participant review, payment requirements, and scheduling.
Which areas do you serve?
Families come to us from Boca Raton, Highland Beach, Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach and the surrounding Palm Beach County communities. We serve a designated transportation service area around 2120 N. Dixie Highway, Boca Raton, subject to route review and availability; families outside it are welcome to drive in.
Are you closed any days?
We are closed the last Thursday of every month, plus posted holidays. Everything else is a normal Monday-through-Friday program day.
