Respite care comes in various forms, tailored to meet the specific needs of the caregiver and the patient. These include:
In-home respite care: Professional caregivers come to the patient's home to provide care. Day care centers: Patients spend the day at a facility where they receive medical and social support. Residential respite care: Short-term care provided in a hospital, hospice, or specialized facility. Volunteer respite care: Trained volunteers offer companionship and support, either at home or in a facility.
