In-Home Respite Care is the provision of appropriate, temporary, substitute care or supervision of functionally impaired older people which enables the primary family caregiver to continue to provide care for the older person. Respite care workers can help with household chores, such as cleaning and laundry. Other tasks include planning and preparing meals and personal care, such as dressing, bathing, grooming and following special diets.
