Caregiver burnout
I can't keep doing this alone. What are the options?
Respite stays and in-home help give family caregivers a break without making a permanent decision.
Your options

Not for: You need help every day, long-term.
In-home aide

Not for: Care is needed around the clock.

Common questions
Is respite care covered?
Sometimes. Long-term care insurance and VA benefits often cover respite; Medicare generally does not, except under hospice.
