The moment when the family caregiver feels the need to get a break from caring for the elder is when she must consider respite care. Now, this can be a situation when you have another obligation to take care of, or you feel tired and frustrated after your efforts of meeting the elder’s needs every day. It is also a good idea to take a break, when you feel you cannot handle this alone and need an expert’s advice with strategies that will help you take care of the elder in a much better way.
