Respite care offers a safe, comfortable place for your loved one while you’re away. Trained providers can sit and talk with someone who’s disabled or ill. They may also help your loved one:

​

• Bathe

• Dress

• Eat or drink

• Take medications

• Exercise

• Enjoy the outdoors

• Get in and out of bed

​

You can also choose group respite care. Usually, this takes place at assisted-living facilities, adult day care centers, or community centers. These programs might include music, dance, or art classes led by trained providers. They often offer group meals, entertainment, or just time to socialize with others.

​

• Someone who’s elderly or ill may feel isolated if they’re at home all the time. Caregivers can feel isolated, too. Respite care may be a welcome break for both of you.
