Myth: “If I use respite care services, people with think I’m not a committed caregiver”

Truth: Taking a break from caregiving actually shows a deep commitment to caregiving. How? Respite care makes it possible to come back to caregiving feeling fresh and renewed, making you a more effective caregiver.

In 2023, the Healthy Kids Colorado survey asked middle and high schoolers in Colorado whether or not they “provide care for someone in their family or household who is chronically ill, elderly, or disabled with activities they would have difficulty doing on their own one or more days a week.” An estimated 12.4% of high schoolers and 20.5% of middle schoolers responding said yes.
