Caregiving is a full-time responsibility for many families, but taking time to care for yourself is just as important. The Statewide Respite Care Program helps eligible caregivers take a temporary break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive quality care in a safe environment.
Respite services can help reduce caregiver stress, prevent burnout, and improve overall well-being for both caregivers and those receiving care. Taking time to rest isn't selfish—it's an important part of providing the best possible care.
The Raritan Valley YMCA (www.raritanvalleyymca.org) has teamed up with the Middlesex County Office of Aging & Disabled Services at 732-745-3295 to increase public awareness of services and opportunities for county seniors, the disabled, and their caregivers.
