What Is Respite Care?
Especially when you are the primary caregiver, you’ll need to take some time off every so often to tend to your needs. Respite care is a commonly used term that describes a temporary break for caregivers. Those caregiving breaks can be as long or short as needed, whether for a few hours, days, weeks, or longer.
