Respite Care

Relief from the Stress of Caregiving

Caring for an aging spouse, parent, sibling, relative, or friend is a monumental expression of love. At the same time, there are few experiences in life that are as demanding of our time and emotional energy. The daily labor of feeding, bathing, supervising, and caring for an elderly person is exhausting—even more so if your loved one has memory loss, is chronically ill or disabled, or is facing the end of life. It is normal for a caregiver to eventually feel burnt out. When this happens, it’s essential that you take time for yourself to rest and recharge. However, the thought of taking time away from your loved one may fill you with guilt and worry. If you find yourself in this situation, respite care may be worth considering!

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a form of short-term care for seniors that provides relief to their primary caregivers. Respite care can last a matter of hours or days, and can take place in the home or at an inpatient facility (such as an adult day center or skilled nursing facility). While their loved ones are in the care of compassionate professionals, caregivers have time to rest, run errands, reconnect with friends and family, or simply recharge their emotional batteries. As the population of Maricopa County ages, respite care is becoming more and more common. Many caregivers in the Phoenix metropolitan area rely on regular or situational respite care to keep their loved one comfortable at home.
