Respite care facilitates the caring of family members, including elderly parents, who might otherwise be in a facility. Respite care reduces the physical, emotional and financial stress associated with caring for family members who have disabilities and/or chronic illnesses. Respite care promotes health and well-being for caregivers and helps to reduce the likelihood of neglect or abuse. Additionally, the Lifespan Respite Act was passed in 2006 to develop lifespan respite programs to help families obtain access to quality and affordable respite care.
