- 3. While taking care of an elderly family member can be rewarding, it can also take a toll on the caregiver’s physical and emotional states. In many cases, the majority of the care falls on one or two family members, who may also have jobs and families of their own. Seeking respite from caregiving responsibilities, whether for a few hours each week or for an extended vacation, is essential to relieve stress and replenish energy stores.
- 4. Caregivers have several options for respite care. Sometimes, simply asking other family members to fill in and do what they can reasonably fit into their schedules is all that is necessary. If no family members are willing or able to help, the caregiver can obtain outside help from adult daycare centers, a short-term residential program, or an in-home care provider.
