What Is Respite Care?
Respite care is a special name for a short-term break for caregivers. When you look after someone who’s sick or disabled, it’s a 24-hour job. You need a break from time to time to look after your own needs. That’s where respite care can help.
Respite care can take place:
- In your home
- At special day-care centers
- In residential centers that offer overnight stays
Your breaks can be as long or short as you need them to be. You can set up respite care for a few hours, a day, a few days, or a few weeks. This is a non-skilled service.
Area Agency on Aging: Must be 65 years of age, no insurance required. Individual must meet certain criteria that will be determined by agency.
