Respite care, also known as short-term care, is temporary care that provides relief to caregivers.
It can be planned or happen at short notice. The length of respite care can vary from days to weeks, depending on the care delivery system and funding.
When choosing a respite care provider, you can consider your loved one’s needs, such as their mobility, medical conditions, cognitive function, and social engagement. We offer some of the following cares:
-
In-home care
This can include help with bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, cooking, and companionship.
-
Clinical respite care
This can include administering medications, changing wound dressings, and checking vital signs.
