Describe respite care in the long-term care setting
Respite care is a short stay for the purpose of providing relief or "respite" to the primary caregivers of the frail elderly who cannot live in an independent environment and do not require the intensity of services and supervision required of the traditional long-term care facility. The period of respite care may range anywhere from overnight to several weeks, depending on the caregiver's needs. In a respite care admission, a long-term care facility is providing meals and general supervision to assure that necessary medications are administered and is also providing a safe environment for the respite resident, with opportunities for socialization and no need for active care intervention.?
