Respite care entails care that provides a primary caregiver (usually a family member) relief and respite from their caregiving responsibilities. Whether it’s a few hours or a whole day – its important to make time for yourself.
Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda is great at respite care – our mature and sophisticated caregivers excel at providing high-level companionship alongside high-quality care. Most clients think of our caregiver(s) as friends and look forward to visits from their caregiver(s).
