You're taking care of your mom with dementia. Or your adult child with disabilities. Or your husband who had a stroke. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. You haven't had a break in months. Maybe years.

You're exhausted. You're burning out. You snap at them when you don't mean to. You're getting sick yourself. You need a break but you can't afford to pay someone. And you feel guilty even thinking about it.

Here's the truth: Family caregivers provide over 40 hours of care per week on average. And caregivers who don't get breaks are 63% more likely to die early than non-caregivers. You're running yourself into the ground.

You need a break. And you can get one for free.

Free Breaks from Caregiving—Someone Else Takes Over

If you have Medi-Cal and you're caring for someone, you can get free respite care right now:

What Respite Care Looks Like:

• Someone trained comes to your home OR your loved one goes somewhere safe

• They take over for a few hours, a day, or even overnight

• You get to leave. Rest. Run errands. Breathe.

• Your loved one is safe and cared for

What You Can Get:

• Up to 336 hours per year (that's 14 full days)

• In-home respite (someone comes to you)

• Out-of-home respite (your loved one goes to a facility for the day or overnight)

• Emergency respite if you get sick or have a crisis

• Planned respite so you can take a real break

What the Respite Worker Does:

• Everything you do—bathing, feeding, medication, companionship

• Keeps them safe and comfortable

• Follows their routine

• Gives you peace of mind

People in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced are getting breaks right now. You could too.

Here's What Happens If You Don't Get a Break

You already know. You collapse. Or you get sick. Or you have a breakdown. Or you hurt someone because you've snapped. Or you die before the person you're caring for because you worked yourself to death.

Caregivers who don't get respite are twice as likely to be hospitalized themselves. Because you can't pour from an empty cup.

Don't let that happen.

Here's What to Say (So You Qualify)

How you describe your caregiving situation matters. Never lie. But frame it right.

❌ DON'T say: "I take care of my mom sometimes." ✅ DO say: "I'm the primary caregiver for my family member with a disability/chronic condition. I'm burning out and need respite care to prevent caregiver breakdown."

❌ DON'T say: "It would be nice to have a day off." ✅ DO say: "I provide 24/7 caregiving with no breaks. I'm at risk of caregiver burnout, illness, or being unable to continue providing care without respite."

❌ DON'T say: "I'm managing okay." ✅ DO say: "I'm exhausted and my own health is suffering from caregiving stress. I need respite to sustain my ability to care for my loved one."

The difference? One meets criteria. One doesn't. Both are true. Frame it right.

Is This Really Free?

Yes. Completely free.

If the person you're caring for has Medi-Cal and qualifies for care, respite is covered. Your health plan pays for it.

No co-pay. No bills. No fees.

Even if you own a car or have some savings, you still qualify. Medi-Cal doesn't count that anymore.

The only "catch" is the person you're caring for needs to have Medi-Cal. Not you. Them.

This Could Save You

Imagine this: You wake up tomorrow. A trained caregiver arrives at your house. They take over. You leave. You go to the park. You sit quietly. You take a nap. You visit a friend. You breathe.

You come back 6 hours later. Your loved one is fine. Fed, clean, safe, happy. And you're recharged. You can keep going.

That's what this does. Free. Right here in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced.

You'd be crazy to keep burning out when free respite exists.

Click here and get started. Two minutes. That's it.

Who Gets Respite Care?

If you're caring for someone with Medi-Cal and any of this sounds like you:

✓ You're caring for a parent with dementia or Alzheimer's ✓ You're caring for an adult child with disabilities ✓ You're caring for a spouse who's had a stroke or serious illness ✓ You're providing 24/7 care with no breaks ✓ You're exhausted, burned out, or getting sick yourself ✓ You need time to rest, run errands, or take care of yourself

Then you probably qualify.

Real examples from the Central Valley:

• A daughter in Modesto caring for her mom with dementia gets 8 hours respite every week—hasn't burned out in 2 years

• A husband in Stockton caring for his wife after a stroke got overnight respite when he got the flu

• A mom in Merced caring for her disabled son gets one full day off per month—still able to keep caring
