If you've started looking into help for an aging parent or spouse, you've probably run into the word caregiver everywhere, and come away still wondering what one actually does day to day. The short answer: an in-home caregiver helps an older adult live safely and comfortably in their own home, with support that can range from simple companionship and errands all the way to hands-on help with bathing and dressing.

Respite care is short-term care that gives family caregivers a temporary break from their caregiving responsibilities. A trained caregiver steps in for a few hours, a full day, or longer, so your loved one continues to receive attentive support at home while you rest, run errands, travel, or simply recharge.
