Understanding Respite Care and Its Importance for Caregivers
Respite care provides intervals of rest and relief for family, friends, or neighbor caregivers. It is essential for maintaining a balanced life, keeping loved ones at home longer, and allowing caregivers to rest, rejuvenate, and refresh. Respite care boosts the immune system and supports caregivers in providing continued care. Explore opportunities for culturally relevant respite services and collaboration with organizations like ALTSA and AAA in tribal communities.
