| Respite care is temporary relief care designed for families of children or adults
with special needs. It can range from a few hours of care provided on a one-time
basis to overnight or extended care sessions. This can be utilized on
a regular or irregular basis and can be provided by family members, friends,
skilled care providers, or professionals. Providers, chosen by the family, care
for children or adults with special needs while families take a much needed
break from care giving. |
