8. My loved one lives with me and my family. I take care of them most of the day and on weekends. I feel like I need a break. What can I do?


Ask your loved one’s doctor or your local hospital about respite care. Respite care offers medical professionals on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You might be able to bring your loved one to a facility for a few hours or days, or a nurse or other medical professional could come to your house to give you a break.
