Both the caregiver and the person receiving the care benefit when interacting with others that understand the demanding nature of caregiving. Respite care provides the caregiver with valuable time for family and friends which can significantly improve personal wellness and peace of mind. Relaxing is critical for every caregiver. Through carefully designed community activities, the person receiving care can participate in exercises with others that match personal abilities and needs. These exercises can inspire hope by providing an underlying sense of belonging. Many people experiencing loneliness or isolation are reminded of the greater community to which they are connected. They are also able to relax and experience peace of mind.
Do not forget that respite care means providing a temporary break. This is an opportunity for you to take a moment of rest but does not say that you are throwing in the towel on what you love to do, which is caring for those near and dear to you. Additionally, those receiving care will not be stuck, but they will have the chance to get mildly acclimated to a community should the need arise again in the future. Respite care encourages you to be healthy in both your mental and physical well-being. Refreshing your overall health gives you the strength to return to caring with renewed vigor and stamina.
