"Provide accessible respite care and caregiver education, giving families the time, knowledge, and support to care for loved ones at home. Make respite services affordable for all, while also supporting caregivers’ physical, emotional, and mental well-being."

A California where every caregiver feels supported, valued, and empowered to care for loved ones with dignity. A future where families and communities unite so no one faces aging or illness alone — creating a statewide model of compassionate respite care, education, and support.

The Mission

The California Respite Care Foundation was created to ensure that every family caregiver in California has access to safe, compassionate, and high-quality respite care. We exist because behind every person
in need of care is someone quietly giving everything — their time, health, and emotional energy.


Our mission is to restore balance and dignity to caregivers’ lives by providing accessible respite resources, advocacy, and community partnerships. By caring for the caregivers, we help preserve families, strengthen communities, and uphold the shared human value of compassion.
