Abstract:
Respite care addresses one of the most pressing needs of family caregivers--temporary relief from caregiving tasks. It is the service strategy most commonly offered to support family caregivers and is available in all 50 states. However, definitions of respite vary among programs and states, and quality and completeness of reported data are often lacking, making rigorous comparison among states impossible. This report describes the main sources of publicly funded respite care and presents data for the year 2007.
