Respite is part of a sustainable care plan
Planning a break is not a failure of commitment. It is a practical way to protect your energy, keep appointments, spend time with your own family, or simply rest without having to solve everything at once.
Plan around the moments that create pressure
Look ahead at work travel, school events, medical appointments, holidays, and times when several family members may be away. Then identify the routines that need support.
Make the handoff easier
Prepare a short overview of your loved one’s preferences, routines, contacts, and anything that helps them feel at ease. Let your loved one take part in the conversation when possible.
