Relieving family caregivers, covering temporary periods of care
Family members who provide regular assistance at home may sometimes need time away from caregiving responsibilities for work, appointments, errands, rest, or other personal obligations. Respite Care provides temporary in-home caregiver support so a person can continue receiving assistance while their usual family caregiver is away. For families in Lanham, Maryland, this can be useful when a primary caregiver needs short-term coverage without changing the person’s usual home setting.
How It Works
Respite Care may include:
- Temporary caregiver support in the home
- Assistance with the individual’s usual daily routine
- Supervision during periods when a family caregiver is away
- Support with routine personal or household needs within the arranged scope
- Continued caregiver presence for an agreed period
What to Expect
Respite support is temporary and is arranged around the period when the regular caregiver needs assistance with coverage. During that time, the caregiver provides the support included in the service while the individual remains in their familiar home environment. The length and type of respite assistance depend on the circumstances and the scope of care arranged.
