Respite Care


The provision of short-term relief (respite) to families caring for their frail elders offers tremendous potential for maintaining dependent persons in the least restrictive environment. Respite services encompass traditional home based care, as well as adult day care, skilled nursing, home health aide and short term institutional care. Respite can vary in time from part of a day to several weeks. Respite care varies by location where you can take a patient to an Adult Daycare or you can have respite caregivers come to your home to sit with the patient.
