Caring for a parent or partner is meaningful work, and it is also exhausting. Respite care gives family caregivers time to rest, work, travel or simply recharge, knowing their loved one is with a screened professional caregiver.
When Families Use Respite Care
- Regular time off each week
- A planned holiday or family event
- Recovering from your own illness or surgery
- Avoiding caregiver burnout before it starts
