Have you read the CaregiversVoice.com lately? They are talking about respite care for the holiday season. If you are a caregiver traveling without a loved one this holiday season, how about considering respite care. The National Family Caregivers Association offers the following: Respite Care takes on many forms, including adult day care, surrogate caregiver coverage by other family members or friends, home health care through a professional service, or a short-term stay in a senior housing community.

One way to celebrate NFC month is to give yourself a break. Search for respite care in select senior housing communities nationwide, visit SNAP for Seniors. If you would like more assistance in locating senior housing options for respite care, call 206/575-0728 extension 2013 or email snap for seniors. Look up CaregiversVoice.com for more info.
