Caregiver Respite

Family caregivers deserve to take a break. Call us about respite.

What is Respite?

As a caregiver, you are allowed to take breaks! Respite is the care of your loved one by another person, letting you take a break. Respite can be provided by a friend, neighbor, a day center, or a home care agency.

 

Who needs respite?

That person who is taking care of their loved one, 24/7. The biggest benefits of receiving respite are time to rejuvenate, catch up on sleep, pursue a hobby, time to build relationships with family or spouse, time to attend events like sports, arts, or worship, or time to run errands.

Our Program: Adult Day Health Center Respite Scholarship Program

The Arizona Caregiver Coalition (ACC) administers the Adult Day Health Center (ADHC) Respite program. Our program offers respite at no cost to those caregivers who have never received aid from any federal program. Adult Day Health Centers provide a safe and learning environment for your loved one.
