1921 to Frederick and Con-
tent Wilson. She was of
pioneer stock. Her paternal
grandparents were Judge
Joseph G. Wilson and Post-
mistress Elizabeth Wilson
of The Dalles. Her father
was also a revered judge.
She graduated from
The Dalles High School in
1938 and Whitman College
in 1942. She worked as an
English teacher and for
many years was the ield
historian and editor with the
2015 AARP study, 60 per-
cent of caregivers report be-
ing employed during their
time as a caregiver—56
percent of those caregivers
report working an average
of 34.7 hours per week.
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.

Voluntary Service is
a wonderful organization
within VA that supports
caregivers by providing
peer mentoring opportuni-
ties and in-home compan-
ionship for veterans. 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.
Find out more infor-
mation on the Caregiver
Support Program and lo-
cate your caregiver support
coordinator online or by
calling the VA Caregiver
Support Line at 1-855-260-
