Respite Care

Providing Relief for Caregivers Across Washington, D.C.

If you currently care or coordinate care for an aging loved one, you are certainly not alone. The Family Caregiver Alliance estimates 44 million Americans over the age of 18 provide some type of unpaid care to a senior or adult with developmental disabilities. No matter if you are providing daily care to your loved one, setting up medications once a week, stocking the freezer with meals once a month, or calling to check-in from miles away, you are serving as a caregiver.

One thing is true: caregiving is hard work that takes a toll on the caregiver. The Family Caregiver Alliance goes on to report family caregivers can suffer from extended illnesses, depression, anxiety, or sleep disturbances due to their role. For most family members, keeping a senior loved one out of a long term care facility is often the reason they push themselves into intense caregiving situations.

You deserve some rest, without guilt and without putting your loved one at risk.
