Approximately 29% of all adults in the United States today serve as a caregiver for an elderly or sick loved one. The care family caregivers provide often occurs over several years or more. They are responsible for completing medical tasks like changing bandages and do things like set up and give medications and therapeutic tasks like helping them with home exercise programs.

This does not include other basic but essential activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, grooming, and preparing meals. Many family caregivers balance other family obligations, work obligations, and other things with their caregiver duties. Whether the caregiver provides care to their care recipient on a full-time basis, or a part-time one, eventually something has to give. Keeping up with the demands of caregiving and the daily demands of life puts a strain on the caregiver, which is why it is important to have respite care.

What is Respite Care?

Respite Care is temporary care that is intended to provide a care recipient’s main caregiver with the opportunity to take a much-needed break. Caregivers who utilize respite care can use their time away to take care of themselves and get personal things done. Examples include running errands, spending time with friends or family, taking a walk, or simply getting rest.
