respite care
Temporary caregiving substitute
Respite care is temporary relief for caregivers of people with disabilities, chronic illness, or age-related conditions.
A professional or volunteer takes over caregiving duties for a few hours, days, or weeks, giving the primary caregiver time to rest, travel, or attend to other needs: Medicare covers some respite care for hospice patients.
