What is respite, and how do I get a break?
Respite means a short break for you while someone else watches your loved one. It can be a few hours at adult day, a weekend with a hired aide, or a short stay in a facility.
Call your Area Agency on Aging and ask about caregiver support and respite. Some states have Alzheimer's caregiver programs. You deserve rest. Asking for help is not giving up.
