Caregiving is a marathon
Caring for a loved one is deeply rewarding — and exhausting. Respite care provides temporary relief so family caregivers can rest, work, travel, or simply recharge.
What respite care includes
A trained professional steps in to provide the same day-to-day support your loved one relies on: personal care, meals, companionship, medication reminders, and safe supervision — in-home or out-of-home.
Hourly, overnight, or 24/7
Respite can be a few hours a week, an overnight, or around-the-clock coverage for a weekend or longer. It's flexible to your family's needs.
Respite and NJ DDD
For families supporting an individual with a developmental disability, respite may be funded through the NJ DDD program as part of the Individualized Service Plan.
