Respite care gives main caregivers with short-term relief. It can be set up for a single afternoon or for numerous days or weeks. Care can be given at home, at a hospital, or at an adult day center. If you have aging parents who are unable to care for themselves, you are not alone. Respite care provides caregivers with a much-needed break by having other carers temporarily take over their responsibilities. As a result, after the care, family members will not have to worry as much for their parents. My Joyful Home Care also operates as a respite care nursing home.
