What is Respite Care and where do I find it?

Respite care is giving the care giver some time off. How much time off? That depends on the need. Respite care can be during the day over night or for 2 weeks. Care givers that are providing daily care for a loved one sometimes need time off. Maybe they need a day to go shopping and run errands, or maybe they need to go to work, or maybe they want a weekend at the lake. Or maybe the caregiver has some medical issues themselves that may require a hospitalization or some time off to take care of themselves. Most care givers including wives, husbands, sons and daughter’s need some time away. Adagio Manor Assisted Living can help by providing the respite care. We can bill in increments as small as 12 hours or by the week.
