Respite Care for Caregivers
As a caregiver, to be strong for your Veteran you must first be strong. Respite care is an occasional way to take a break from your caregiving duties and relax, renew your energy, and avoid caregiver burnout.
Veterans who require a caregiver may be eligible for up to 30 days of respite care each year. This care can be offered in your home, at a VA community living center, at a VA-contracted community residential care facility, or at an adult day health care center.
To see if you are eligible for respite care services, call the Caregiver Support Line—1-855-260-3274, or enter your zip code and call your local Caregiver Support Coordinator. https://go.usa.gov/xNcjw
