Caregiver Respite

---

Caregivers sometimes need a break from providing care. Using respite care services can support and strengthen the caregiver’s ability to continue to care for the person at home. Respite care can be provided in the home, in a residential care facility, or in a community setting such as an adult day care center.

We invite you to explore the resources on this page about caregiver respite. We also encourage you to access the peer-to-peer exchange if you would like to post a question or comment for response from other website users.
