Respite care can be a caregiver coming to give relief at a personal residence, assisted living facility, a board and care home, a nursing home or skilled nursing facility, or taking the senior to a center or specific place for adult day care. The time of care typically ranges from a few hours in a day up to a full week. Caregiving is a rewarding experience but often exhausting, and so it is important that the primary caregiver also have time to rest and take a breath or two. Respite care makes it possible for the primary caregiver to hold another job, relieve stress, and recharge. Since respite care can be a caregiver coming to you or you taking your aging loved one to a daycare center, it is important to first identify which situation would be more beneficial to you. Contacting a senior placement agency is a good way to find trusted and licensed respite caregivers and adult day care centers. A senior care coordinator has experience, resources, and relationships with respite caregivers and adult day care centers. It is extremely important to research which adult day care centers and programs have good reviews and are known to be safe and secure places. This is where having a senior care coordinator can be a very valuable resource to you and your family.
