Respite care.
Respite care is short-term care for your parent that gives you, the regular caregiver, a break.
The point of respite care is you. It covers your parent's needs for a few hours, a weekend, or a couple of weeks so you can rest, work, travel, or handle your own health without leaving them alone.
It can happen in your parent's home with a paid caregiver, at an adult day program, or as a short overnight stay in an assisted living or nursing facility. The care is the same kind your parent gets day to day; only the length is short.
Families often wait too long to use it. Booking a regular break before you are exhausted is usually easier than arranging emergency coverage after you burn out.
