Being a caregiver is a difficult, demanding job. Often there are none, or almost no opportunities for caregivers to have some time for themselves.

 

Respite for caregivers is time I can spend with the person you are caring for so you can take time for yourself. Sometimes this means I get to talk, play games, watch TV, or go for a walk with your person. Sometimes it means I'm sitting in silence so they can rest, but know they are not alone.

 

This time will look different for every client:

• Providing respite so caregivers can take care of themselves (appointments, meeting a friend, taking a bath, reading a book, anything!)

• Providing respite so caregivers can run errands, go to appointments, etc.
