Understanding Respite Care
What is Respite Care?
Respite care is a service that provides temporary relief to primary caregivers, allowing them to take a break from their caregiving duties. This type of care can be provided in the home, at a healthcare facility, or at an adult day center.
Importance of Respite Care
Caregiving can be physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care helps prevent caregiver burnout, reduces stress, and allows caregivers to recharge. It also ensures that the care recipient continues to receive high-quality care in the caregiver’s absence.
