If you are the primary caregiver for a family member or friend who is elderly, disabled, or ill, you may find yourself in need of some respite care. Respite care provides temporary relief for caregivers, giving them a chance to take a break from their care giving duties.
Whether you need a few hours of relief each week or an extended period of time away, respite care can give you the break you need. There are a variety of respite care services available, including in-home care, adult day care, and short-term stays in nursing homes or other senior living facilities.
In-home respite care can be provided by a trained caregiver who comes to your home to provide care while you are away. Adult daycare centers provide a safe and supervised environment for adults who need assistance with activities of daily living.
Short-term stays in nursing homes or other senior living facilities can provide caregivers with an extended period of time away from their care giving duties. Whatever your respite care needs may be, there is a service that can meet them.
