Respite care is usually a short term, temporary arrangement that can be provided in a nursing home, assisted living or in an individual’s home.
In need of respite or break
When a caregiver is in need of respite or break, arrangements are made for their loved one to be admitted to either a nursing home or assisted living facility for a period of several days to several weeks, depending upon the need.
Handle care giving responsibilities
Respite at home can be arranged by hiring healthcare staff to either live-in or spend several hours a day in the home to handle care giving responsibilities. Â Â
County programs offer a respite benefit
Respite care is not covered by Medicare or medical insurance. Some county programs offer a respite benefit. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging to see if you qualify.
