Definition:
Respite is care and supervision provided to individuals unable to care for themselves. Services are provided on a short-term basis because of the absence or need for relief of those persons normally providing the care. Respite may be used on a regular basis to provide relief to caregivers or in response to a family emergency or crisis.
