Respite care provides time off for the caregiver for a chronically impaired person. Respite care might be offered on a regular basis, such as adult day care or for longer periods intermittently. Some facilities provide short-term respite care if space is available.This information was prepared by the following members of the Department of Human Resources Consumer Information Work Group:The State Long-Term Care Ombudsman ProgramMary Ball, Gerontology Center, Georgia State UniversityJoy Lankford, AgeWise Connection, Atlanta Regional CommissionAnnette McNaron, Division of Aging ServicesFor additional information contact:Division of Aging Services Suite 36-232 2 Peachtree Street, N.W.
