Respite for Primary Caregiver

Providing care for someone receiving hospice services can involve significant time, attention, and responsibility. Respite services offer temporary relief for the primary caregiver while arrangements are made for the patient’s ongoing care needs.

Respite care provides the primary caregiver with a temporary break from their caregiving responsibilities. During this period, the patient continues to receive appropriate care according to the hospice plan and established arrangements.

Respite services are coordinated as part of the patient’s hospice care. The hospice team considers the patient’s needs and care arrangements to help maintain continuity while the primary caregiver takes time away from their usual caregiving role.

At Bonum Hospice Services, we recognize that hospice care involves both the patient and those who participate in their care. Respite support provides a temporary caregiving arrangement while respecting the needs of the patient and the responsibilities of the primary caregiver.
