Checklist for Caregivers Who Are Caring for Elderly Parents: How to Find Respite Resources

All caregivers need some time off. But entrusting someone else to care for their loved one can cause stress and anxiety – and result in the caregiver not taking the time away they need to remain healthy, both physically and mentally.

It is essential that caregivers have planned temporary, intermittent, substitute care, allowing for relief from the daily responsibilities of caring for the care recipient. It can take place in an adult day center, or in the home of the person being cared for.

This checklist can help ease the caregiver’s mind, knowing that the person providing respite care has all the information he or she needs to provide complete, safe care.
