Respite care provides short-term assistance for seniors or disabled individuals who require daily support and social activities. It can be a great option for those seeking a break or additional care during vacations or business trips.
Respite care is not all the same. Respite can vary in time from part of a day to several weeks.
Seeking support and maintaining your own health are key to managing your role as a caregiver. Using respite care before you become exhausted, isolated, or overwhelmed is ideal, but just anticipating regular relief can become a lifesaver. Respite care can take many forms, but boils down to two basic ideas: sharing the responsibility for caregiving and getting support for yourself.
Some of the above care facilities are contracted with Medicaid, some are not. It is crucial to know what happens if a resident is running out of money.

The range is between 6 months to 6 years. Some Medicaid contracted facilities accept new residents who are already on Medicaid.
