What Is Respite Care?
Family caregivers often juggle their own households, jobs and children while caring for an aging parent. Over time, that constant demand can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion, commonly known as caregiver burnout. Respite care shares the caregiving load, so family members can step away for a while and come back refreshed and more focused.
