Respite care is short-term, planned care that gives family caregivers a break. It can be a few hours of in-home care during a workday, a daytime adult day program, or a one-to-four-week residential stay at an assisted-living community. Used regularly, respite is the single biggest factor in keeping a family caregiver sustainable.
