What is Respite Care?
Respite care is a temporary caregiving service designed to provide relief to primary caregivers by offering them a break from their caregiving duties. This type of care can be provided in various settings, including the patient's home, specialized respite care facilities, adult day care centers, or residential care homes. Respite care ensures that the care recipient continues to receive high-quality care while the primary caregiver takes time to rest, attend to personal matters, or simply recharge.

During respite care, professional caregivers step in to provide the necessary support and care for the care recipient. These services can include assistance with daily activities, medical care, and companionship.
3. Flexible Care Options
Respite care can be arranged on a flexible schedule to meet the needs of the primary caregiver and the care recipient. It can be planned in advance or arranged in emergencies.
