What is Respite Care?
Respite care is a service that provides a
short-term break for full-time caregivers. This
service is essential for caregivers who are often
juggling the responsibilities of caring for a
loved one with work, other family
responsibilities, their own health, home upkeep,
and more. Respite care can be provided by family
and friends, home care agencies, some nursing and
assisted living facilities, adult day centres,
and individual care professionals. The exact
services offered depend on the needs and
situation of the individual.
