Respite services allow you, the caregiver, to get a break from your caregiving duties. All caregivers need a break. This service has been used by many caregivers for years. Respite services can be regularly scheduled or can be called upon for overnight situations and for urgent, unplanned occasions. Respite services can be in-home or out-of-home. These services are provided by both licensed providers and unlicensed providers. There are many options available.
