What is Respite Care?
Respite care involves temporary visits from a professional caregiver in order to offset some of the caregiving duties from the primary caregiver, which is usually a family member. While in most cases, our caregivers take on the lion's share of caregiving duties, respite services are provided in cases where family caregivers are performing most of this work on their own.
