Yet surprisingly, 82 percent of caregivers of veterans report that they have not received any respite care services from VA. What is Respite Care? Respite care is short- term care provided to an ill, injured or disabled in- dividual, which provides a break for his or her regular caregiver. Some caregiv- ers utilize informal respite care by asking family and friends for help. VA offers professional respite care to caregivers as well. Respite care can be provided in the home by hiring trained home health aides. It can also be provided in a nurs- ing home facility or one of VA’s Community Living Centers. Eligible veterans who require the support of a family caregiver may be eligible to receive 30 days of respite care per year. Another service provided to veterans that can offer a break to caregivers is Adult Day Health Care, a day program that veterans can attend to get out of the home and socialize while still receiving the supervi- sion and care they need. Why Use Respite Care? Respite care is an im- portant resource for care- givers. It allows caregivers time to take a break and take care of themselves. Some caregivers choose to use respite so that they can attend their own medical appointments or accom- plish other necessary tasks. It is important, however, for caregivers to remember that respite can and should be used to take a break and do something enjoyable. It can be easy for care- givers to forget they need to take care of themselves, too. By prioritizing their own health and wellness, caregivers will have the capacity to provide the best care.

Volun- teers can travel to the home in order to allow caregivers time for themselves. Many veterans ind it fulfilling to connect and socialize with a volunteer, while simultaneously pro- viding caregivers time to pursue what’s personally meaningful, whether it’s coffee with a friend, yoga, meditation or spending time outdoors. Self-care looks different for everyone, but is essential to recharging and improving one’s well- being. How Can Caregivers Get Help? Respite care and other caregiver support services can be accessed in a number of ways at each VA Medi- cal Center. Caregivers can contact their local caregiver support coordinator for as- sistance with connecting to these services.
