What Is Respite Care for Seniors?


Respite care gives family caregivers short-term relief while making sure a loved one is cared for in a safe setting.

The National Institute on Aging describes respite as short-term help so caregivers can rest, travel, or spend time with others.

Juniper offers short-term respite stays in its Phoenix home, including for recovery after illness or as a trial experience before considering longer-term care.
