What respite can cost in Eau Claire
Respite is short-term relief for a family caregiver, not a separate facility class with its own national price survey. The ranges below are derived from published Eau Claire, WI figures for in-home care, adult day, and assisted living. They are planning estimates, not quotes.
- In-home respite: about $34/hour from the local in-home monthly median (44 hrs/week survey standard). Roughly $272 for an 8-hour day, or $1,358 for a 40-hour week.
- Adult day respite: about $71/day (monthly adult-day median ÷ 20 program days), or about $355 for a five-day week.
- Facility short-stay (AL slice): about $204/day (local assisted-living monthly ÷ 30), or about $1,428 for a week. Communities often bill a higher short-stay rate; ask before booking.
Method: divide published monthly medians into hourly/daily slices as above. Full notes on our methodology page.

Providers disclosing respite care
How we rank these: we don't. Sort them yourself.
Providers appear with their government data: CMS star ratings where they exist, license status, capacity, and inspection history. You can sort them yourself. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.
Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.
No providers in Eau Claire, WI currently carry an official respite care service flag.
Respite Care is a service disclosed on other licensed settings, not a separate facility directory. We only list providers when a state source field says so.
