Respite Care (Adolescent Mental Health)

A service that provides a break for parents who have a child with a serious emotional disturbance. Trained parents or counselors take care of the child for a brief period of time to give families relief from the strain of caring for the child. This type of care can be provided in the home or in another location. Some parents may need this help every week.

Respite Care (Death)

Temporary care given by another in place of the primary caregiver so the primary caregiver can take a break.

Respite Care (Long Term Care Insurance)

A few hours to several days of assistance to give a temporary rest or break from caregiving for the individual’s usual caretaker, often a family member or friend.
