How Respite Can Give Caregivers a Break and Keep Your Elderly Loved One Safe

If you have a business trip, want to go on vacation or just need a break from caregiving for your aging parent, but don't think it's safe for them to be at home by themselves, you may be feeling stuck.
Respite Care could be a helpful option. The definition of respite is a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. Respite care can provide a short-term stay at a senior community. It can give the caregiver the assurance that their elderly loved one is being taken care of so the caregiver can do what they need to do.
Dr. Narendra Punjabi has been an Internal Medicine Doctor for almost 40 years and is the new owner of Sunflower Memory Care in Cedar Park, Texas. In this sponsored interview, Dr. Punjabi talks with Kim & Mike Barnes of Parenting Aging Parents about how respite care works, how he wishes he had known about it when he had a parent living with him and why he's offering a one week minimum stay to make respite care more accessible.
