Respite care offers short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family members at home. Even though many families take great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overwhelming without some support. 

 

Respite provides the much needed temporary break from the often exausting challenges faced by the family caregiver. Respite care has been shown to help sustain the family caregiver, patient health and well-being.
