'Respite' or 'respite care' is when someone else takes care of the person who needs care.
Respite is a form of support for all people living at home who have dementia, and their families and carers.
For the person living with dementia, respite can be an opportunity to enjoy relationships and activities separate from their family or carer.
Respite can also be a time where families and carers of people with dementia are able to rest, go to work, pursue hobbies and maintain self-care to support their own wellbeing.
There are different forms of respite care available including flexible, overnight, residential and emergency.
