RESPITE
Caregiving is often emotionally and physically exhausting, leaving the person primarily responsible, feeling overwhelmed and in need of some time alone.
For those cases, Home Health Aides can also assist the family members by taking care of the patients, when the primary caregiver needs to take a break. The aide performs the same services covered by personal care, homemaker, and companion.
