Respite Care

Carolina Esquival, Caring Partners Senior Services

Respite care provides temporary relief, enabling you to take a much-needed break from the demands of caregiving a sick, aging, or disabled family member. Respite care can take place in your own home, at day-care centers, or at residential or nursing facilities that offer overnight stays. 

Whether it’s for just a few hours a week or an extended vacation, seeking respite care can help ease the burden of family caregiving and help to relieve stress, restore your energy, and promote balance in your life. It can also prevent you from becoming exhausted, isolated, or even burned out. Respite care can benefit the person you’re caring for, too, providing them with variety, stimulation, and a welcome change of routine.

Does respite care sound like the right solution for you? If you are in the Coachella Valley, consider contacting Caring Partners Senior Services for the relief you need as a caregiver.
