What is Respite Care and When Do You Need It?

Respite care is services that allow a primary caregiver to shift their responsibilities to professionals to take a break from the carer’s physical and emotional duties. These can be short-term (for a few hours, days or overnight) or long-term settings that allow the caregiver to focus on their lives, health, relationships and career.

Here is why respite care services are necessary –

  • It gives the carer a break to relax, unwind and recharge themselves.
  • It helps maintain other relationships, life goals and other personal commitments.
  • It provides the patient with a change of scenery where they can meet new people, make friends and find new companions.
  • It can help the carer to deal with stress, fatigue and overburden of responsibilities.
