Respite Care (care for the family caregiver)
By definition, respite care is professional care provided by on a short-term basis for the purpose of relieving a primary family caregiver.
When you travel in an airplane, you are instructed to put on your own oxygen mask first, before trying to help anyone else. This vital rule applies well to caregivers. Take care of yourself or you can’t take care of anyone else. Don’t feel guilty about taking some time off. Family members or friends who act as primary caregivers need regular breaks, even if it’s only for a few hours. We can meet your needs for both short-term and extended relief through respite care services.
