Respite Care is for caregivers who need a break from caring for an elderly dependent (or other terminally ill loved one). It is designed to allow caregivers to take a vacation or just time to themselves and can last for a weekend up to about two weeks.
A person may either be admitted to a respite care facility or have a respite care worker stay with the loved one at home as a temporary living arrangement.
