Caring for a loved one who is elderly, chronically ill, or has special needs is an act of compassion and love. However, it can also be a demanding and challenging responsibility. The physical and emotional toll it takes on caregivers is well-documented, leading to stress, burnout, and even physical health issues. In these circumstances, respite care emerges as a lifeline for both the caregiver and their loved one. Thoughtful planning for respite care is crucial, as it offers temporary relief to caregivers while ensuring that their loved ones continue to receive the care they need.
