Hello, does anyone have any information regarding respite care for your loved ones while you go away on a vacation? My mother lives in Erie County near Buffalo, NY. I am getting no assistance from her insurance company who allegedly covers this type of care.

    Is this a long term care insurance company or a Medicare hospice program? Are you looking for monetary assistance or just help finding a place?
