Respite Care for Caregivers

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is one of the most rewarding and demanding things a family can do, and no one should have to do it alone. This page brings together trusted local resources in and around Elkin, NC, including adult day programs that provide safe, supervised activities while you work or handle other responsibilities, in-home care and respite options that give caregivers a much-needed break, and long-term memory care communities for when more support is needed. Each listing includes the address, phone number, website and hours when available, so you can quickly find the right fit for your family. If you're not sure where to start, the Alzheimer's Association's free 24/7 Helpline at 1-800-272-3900 can point you in the right direction. Please call ahead to confirm hours, services and availability before visiting.

 

Adult day programs (supervised daytime care while family works)

  • New Horizons Adult Day Service, 1917 W Main St, Yadkinville appears in a local listing. I couldn't verify its hours or dementia services, so call first.

  • The Ruby Pardue Blackburn Adult Day Health Care Center, (336) 667-2541, 1915 West Park Drive, Suite 200, North Wilkesboro is another option.

  • The state keeps a certified provider list. Its directory lists adult day care offered by local service providers, and some programs carry an Alzheimer's special designation. That list is the best way to confirm what's closest to Elkin.

​

Help paying for respite

  • Project C.A.R.E. offers funds for self-directed respite care, subject to eligibility and availability, plus referrals to Area Agencies on Aging. A state respite resource guide lists Surry and Yadkin among the counties served, covering in-home respite, short-term facility respite and adult day care. Your regional Area Agency on Aging can start the application.

Alzheimer's Association (Western Carolina Chapter)

  • The 24/7 Helpline is 800-272-3900. They can point you to local programs, support groups and care options.
