Our
Friends of Families Respite Care Program
provides a great opportunity for caretakers
or family members to attend holiday festivities,
take a vacation or just spend an afternoon
shopping without worrying about the care
of their loved ones.
-
Perhaps a caretaker just needs a
break from the day-to-day responsibilities.
-
Your loved one will be considered
a guest at Lake Butler Hospital/Hand
Surgery Center, and will be given
round-the-clock care and attention.
-
Upon arrival at LBH/HSC a guest registration
will be completed by a registered
nurse that will ask pertinent questions
regarding medications, activities
of daily living and other personal
needs.
-
Guests must bring their own medications
and medical supplies needed for their
care.
-
The Respite Care Program at LBH/HSC
should not be confused with an admission
to the hospital requiring the services
of a physician, although medical care
is certainly available through the
emergency room if the need arises.
Unfortunately, insurance does not cover
any respite care. LBH/HSC charges a daily
fee based on the level of care required
ranging from Level I (minimal care) to
Level III (complete care).
The friendly, professional staff of LBH/HSC
helps you take the break you deserve!
