Jan 11, 2023
Respite Care
Respite care is a type of care that provides temporary relief for primary caregivers, who are typically family members or friends of the person receiving care. This can allow the primary caregiver to take a break, handle personal matters, or simply recharge their batteries while ensuring that the person they care for is still receiving the necessary care and support.
