Respite care or short-term relief is a time for families and primary caregivers to restore and strengthen their ability to continue providing care for a child or adult with special needs – i.e., mental or physical disabilities, chronic illness or medical fragility, or at risk of abuse or neglect. Research has shown that there are many benefits and cost savings for everyone involved in respite care, from a micro level of improving the family stability to the macro level of saving billions of dollars in the national healthcare cost.
