How to use "Respite" in context?
Respite is a break from everyday routine for caregivers and patients. It allows for time away from home and family to relax, rest, and recuperate. It is helpful for caregivers as it relieves some of the tension and strains of long-term care. It is also beneficial for patients, as it can improve mood and health.
There are several ways to provide respite care. Inpatient respite care can be provided in a hospital or in a residential setting. Outpatient respite care can be provided in a variety of settings including home, the patient's family home, a day center, or a rehabilitation facility.
