What is respite care and where is it provided?
Respite care is “relief” when the primary caregiver needs a break. It may be provided in the home for short periods by volunteers. It may be provided for up to five days at Winchester Medical Center, Warren Memorial Hospital or Shenandoah Memorial Hospital. Upon request by the family, with Hospice team approval, and when space is available.
