Taking care of a loved one can be an incredibly rewarding experience. It can also be tougher than most people realize. Many older adults enjoy having family members assist in their care, but this can put significant strain on the primary caregiver day in and day out. 

If this scenario sounds all too familiar, then it might be time to consider respite care. Respite Care is designed to provide short-term help to caregivers and can even act as an introduction to life in an assisted living community. In this article, we’ll discuss the details of respite care, how it can benefit family caregivers, and how to determine if it fits your loved one’s needs.
