What is Respite Care?

This type of senior home care keeps the family caregiver in the lead role, but allows them to book visits from a care professional when they want to take a break. Typically delivered on a short-term basis or as part of a temporary care plan, these services can be provided for a set period of hours, days, or weeks. With this guilt-free time to themselves, family caregivers can rest, recharge, and relax without worry.
