What Is Respite Care?

Respite care is temporary support provided to individuals who usually receive care from family or friends, giving their regular caregivers a much-needed break. This short-term care can last from a few hours to several weeks and is designed to ensure the person receiving care is safe, comfortable, and well looked after in a supportive environment. Respite care helps carers to rest, recharge, or manage other commitments while maintaining continuity and quality of care for their loved ones.
