What is Respite Care?
Respite care is a temporary care service designed to offer temporary support to individuals who require assistance while their primary caregivers take a well-deserved break. It serves as a lifeline for caregivers, providing them with the opportunity to recharge, attend to personal matters, and alleviate the demands of caregiving responsibilities.
