Caregiving for a loved one can be a few hours a week or a full-time job. Either way, understanding your long and short-term options matters.
Respite care and assisted living serve completely different purposes, even though both provide professional support. One offers temporary relief. The other provides ongoing care. Knowing which you need right now makes all the difference.
Our latest blog breaks down the types of respite care available, who each option serves best, and how short-term stays can actually help families make better long-term decisions. Plus, we answer the question caregivers ask most: how long can you actually stay in respite care?
If you're managing care responsibilities, this guide is for you.
