Respite care is a special name for a short-term break for caregivers. When you look after someone who’s sick or disabled, it’s a 24-hour job. You need a break from time to time to look after your own needs. That’s where respite care can help. Respite care can take place: In your home At special day-care centers In residential centers that offer overnight stays Your breaks can be as long or short as you need them to be. You can set up respite care for a few hours, a day, a few days, or a few weeks. Respite services charge by the hour or by the number of days or weeks that services are provided. Most insurance plans do not cover these costs. You must pay all costs not covered by insurance or other funding sources. Medicare will cover most of the cost of up to 5 days in a row of respite care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility for a person receiving hospice care. Medicaid also may offer assistance.
Respite care offers a safe, comfortable place for your loved one while you’re away. Trained providers can sit and talk with someone who’s disabled or ill. They may also help your loved one: Bathe Dress Eat or drink Take medication Exercise Enjoy the outdoors Get in and out of bed You can also choose group respite care. Usually, this takes place at assisted-living facilities, adult daycare centers, or community centers. These programs might include music, dance, or art classes led by trained providers. They often offer group meals, entertainment, or just time to socialize with others. Someone who’s elderly or ill may feel isolated if they’re at home all the time. Caregivers can feel isolated, too. Respite care may be a welcome break for both of you
