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 allows you to take a timeout from your caregiving responsibilities. You may need a regularly scheduled break, last-minute help when an emergency comes up, or a longer rest to recharge your batteries. You may be away for a few hours or a few weeks.
