Respite Care

What is respite care? 

Respite care is any caretaking arrangement for the patient that temporarily relieves the primary caregiver.

It may be as informal as a friend or relative who comes to the home to care for the patient, a part-time in-home aide, or a few days per week at a day center.

It also may apply to short-term stays in residential facilities.
