Respite refers to a short time of rest or relief for the caregiver. It allows the caregiver a break from day to day duties while the person with dementia receives care from qualified individuals. There are many different ways respite care can be provided:
  • In a home, community organization, churches, synagogues or residential facility.
  • For part of the day, evening or overnight.
  • By paid staff, volunteers, family or friends.
  • Occasionally or on a regular basis.

Respite care can be very beneficial to the health and well-being of the person providing care as well as the person with dementia.

Where are respite centers?

The Respite Center Programs are free of charge, for admission information contact the Respite Center Leader.
