The round- the clock nature of caregiving responsibilities can lead to caregiver burnout, a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion. Recognizing the need for support is the first step towards addressing these challenges, and respite care offers a viable solution.
 
Respite care refers to temporary, short-term relief provided to family members or caregivers who are looking after individuals with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or aging conditions. This care allows caregivers to take a break, recharge, or attend to other responsibilities without worrying about the well-being of their loved ones.
 
The core idea behind respite care is to provide a time of rest and recharge to caregivers while ensuring that the individuals they care for continue to receive the attention and care they need.
