Respite Care Specifics
There is both planned respite when the
caregiver sets up the respite care in advance of the needed care
and crisis respite when an emergency situation arises that required
unplanned respite care.
Respite care is typically temporary relief that is given to the
caregivers and to the families of those who are caring for
individuals with disabilities, chronic or terminal illness, or the
elderly.
There is both planned respite when the caregiver sets up the
respite care in advance of the needed care and crisis respite when
an emergency situation arises that required unplanned respite care.
This planned or unplanned respite care can take place in-home, or
out-of-home setting and will depend on the needs of the individual
who requires care and on the family members.
Respite care is given in order to preserve the family and to
give support services when needed. Respite care reduces family
stress, supports family stability, and helps to prevent abuse and
neglect and also serves to reduce the need for out-of-home
placements.
Respite Care Breaks:
Respite breaks are when a respite worker comes for a short
period of time in order to give the regular caregiver a break to do
whatever personal errand needs to be done or just so the caregiver
can rest and enjoy themselves for a short time. Breaks are usually
during the day, but can be a night too.
There are also family homes and day care centers that can offer
short-term respite care. These homes and centers have trained staff
and some provide transportation back and forth.

Care for Cargiver

Respite care can also be long-term in a group home, nursing
home, or other facility set up for respite care. This is usually
used for when the caregiver needs a longer break due to mental or
physical stress or when they go on vacation. Sometimes when
long-term respite care is necessary you can find a live-in
caregiver who is willing to come to the home to care while the
regular caregiver is gone for an extended time.
If there are no high-level care needs and the individual is
mobile, it may be an option to use a day care program. Day care
programs are perfect for those who need companionship or light
supervision. Day care programs allows for socialization as well as
for respite care.
When the individual has higher level medical needs or is
mentally or emotionally challenged it may be better to use nursing
homes or respite care centers that are set up to handle the special
needs of these individuals. It is imperative that the respite care
be able to fit the needs of the individual and the family.
