[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 373382, member: 1963"] Respite care isn't only for the caregivers of the mentally ill child. It's for caregivers, period. In the last two years of husband's life, when he was too sick and disabled to go anywhere on his own, we had respite care once a week. It got him someone to play chess or cards with, someone other than me, and even though I worked and he had a PCA during the week, it gave me a few hours on the weekends to get out of the house on my own. It wasn't for husband, though, it was for ME, so I got some time away from the sickroom on my own. [/QUOTE]
