Caregiver Relief Services/Respite Care

Caregiver relief services are programs or services that provide temporary breaks or respite for caregivers, who are individuals who provide care and support to a person with a disability, chronic illness, or aging needs.

Caregiver relief services can take many forms, including in-home respite care, adult day care centers, respite vacations, and respite care provided by a trained professional. The goal of caregiver relief services is to give caregivers the opportunity to take a break from their caregiving responsibilities and engage in self-care, relaxation, and other activities that allow them to recharge and maintain their own physical and mental health.

Caregiver relief services can be especially beneficial for caregivers who are experiencing stress, fatigue, or other negative impacts on their well-being due to their caregiving duties.
