Respite Care – Temporary Relief for Caregivers
Respite care offers temporary relief for family caregivers who are caring for loved ones at home. It provides them with an opportunity to rest, attend to other responsibilities, or simply take a much-needed break, knowing that their loved one is in safe and capable hands. Whether it’s for a few hours, days, or longer, respite care ensures continuity of care while giving caregivers peace of mind and time to recharge. This service is essential for preventing burnout and maintaining the overall well-being of both the caregiver and the individual receiving care.
