Respite Care

Respite care provides caregivers with temporary relief from or assistance with the responsibility of home caregiving. Some organizations such as Alzheimer’sAssociation, Statewide Respite, and Hospice have grants for respite.

Inpatient/residential options are available at most assisted living, rehabilitation, and nursing homes. Select the level of care that is needed.

Home health and Companion agencies also provide short-term in-home services. See Home Health Care.
