What is respite care?
Respite care is care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest. A hospice patient, may have one person that takes care of him/her every day. That person might be a family member, neighbor or friend. Sometimes the main caregiver will need someone to take care of the patient for a short time so that they can get a break and take care of themselves. During a period of respite care, the patient will be cared for in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a in-patient hospice suite or skilled nursing home.
At Agape' Hospice, short-term inpatient care is available for patients served by the program for treatment and management of symptoms, which are unable to be appropriately managed in the home.
