The demands of providing 24/7 care can be physically and emotionally draining for caregivers. Without breaks to maintain their own mental and physical wellness, caregivers can experience burnout. With no trusted, competent, caring person to turn to for respite, it can be difficult to maintain a household, run errands, exercise, or even take a shower. Respite care provides caregivers with the opportunity for a temporary rest from their caregiving duties. Mom/dad vacations are options for quick getaways to recharge and renew spirit without breaking the bank or sending the other caregiver running for the hills.
