Respite Care
Provides temporary relief for caregivers, allowing them to rest and recharge while ensuring their loved ones receive compassionate and professional care.
A Lifeline for Caregivers
Hospice care is not only about supporting the patient but also about caring for and guiding their family or loved ones. Respite care is one of the valuable tools available to provide you with relief and support.
Caring for a loved one is one of the most selfless and fulfilling roles anyone can take on. However, it can also be physically and emotionally draining, especially over long periods without a break. Respite care provides caregivers with the time and space to rest, recharge, or attend important family functions. It also ensures their loved one continues to receive compassionate and professional care.
What is Respite Care?
Respite care is a short-term service designed to support caregivers by giving them a temporary break. It can be provided for a few hours or up to five days per occasion and in a variety of settings, including at home, in specialized facilities, or through an adult day program.
