SERVICES - RESPITE CARE
Caregivers play a special role in our lives. Most give up untold and
uncounted portions of time and energy and even sacrifice their personal
lives in an effort to provide what is needed. They do all this because
they care and because they are, in many instances, the only ones available
to do so.
Caregivers need care too, however, and respite services exist to give
a little back to those who give the most. EduCare understands all that
caregivers give up, and that occasionally caregivers need a little time
for themselves, too. Respite services allow caregivers the time to pursue
their own interests and relationships, and the time to address personal
responsibilities and maybe just a chance to renew the spirit and get
some rest! Respite care is beneficial not just for the primary caregiver
but also for the person receiving care who, with respite, has the opportunity
to establish new relationships, improve social skills and work towards
a higher level of independence. For a day or for longer periods, as
needed, respite care can be an indispensable service for families and
caregivers.
