Respite Care refers to short term, temporary care provided to people when dealing with an illness, injury or disability. It is usually a temporary relief to those who are caring for family members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home.
Even though most families take great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overwhelming without some support, such as respite. Respite provides the much needed temporary break from the often exhausting challenges faced by the family caregiver.
Research has shown that providing respite can have a positive effect on the health of the caregiver and has been shown to help sustain family caregiver health and wellbeing, avoid or delay out-of-home placements, and reduce the likelihood of abuse and neglect.
