Specialty Services
The Respite Care Program is designed to allow the primary caregivers "time off" to take care of themselves. Often a family member caring for a loved one needs a break from their caregiving duties to take care of their other responsibilities such as grocery shopping, banking, and other necessary "chores." Respite care is good for both the caregiver and the care recipients. Caregivers who do not take time for themselves are more likely to become ill or become unable to provide adequate care for their loved one.
Respite Care is provided by our Personal Attendants, who can assist your loved one with compassion and skill. Learn more about what our personal care services include. Respite care is available in four hour or longer visits at our standard rates.

Coordinated Care with Hospice & VNA
Hospice Services are ordered by a physician and provided by a licensed Hospice Agency. In Monterey County, we have three licensed Hospice Agencies: Central Coast Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) and Hospice, Hospice of the Central Coast, and Heartland Hospice.
Sometimes clients choose to enlist hospice during the final months of a terminal illness. At other times, hospice agencies refer new clients to us. for additional hands on care. In either case, our Home Care Managers work closely with the hospice team of nurses, social workers and therapists to meet your needs and to ensure consistency of care in the implementation of hospice orders. Our Personal Attendants provide professional bedside care, allowing the client and family to be free from those concerns.
At Central Coast Senior Services, Inc., we are very proud to have been selected by VNA as their Coordinated Care Provider for non-medical in-home care.
Those who choose an Assisted Living option may find that the one-on-one attention of a Personal Attendant may be helpful in addition to the facility's services. We serve people who choose Independent Living or Assisted Living with the same personalized care as provided in a traditional home setting.
