Respite care means providing temporary relief for primary caregivers. It allows caregivers to take a break, attend to personal needs, or simply rest, while their loved one receives professional care in a familiar setting. 

Caregivers who need a temporary break from their caregiving duties often benefit from in-home respite care. It’s also beneficial for loved ones who prefer to stay in their own home while their primary caregiver is away. 

Respite care can be arranged for various durations, from a few hours to several days or even weeks, depending on the caregiver’s needs and the availability of services.

Services typically include assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship, and light housekeeping, all provided in the comfort of the elderly individual’s home.
