Respite Care
Respite care is a type of care that provides temporary relief for family members and caregivers who are caring for an individual with special needs. This type of care can be provided in a variety of settings, including the person’s own home, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home. Respite care can be provided for a few hours, a few days, or even a few weeks at a time. It can be arranged on a regular basis or on an as-needed basis. The goal of respite care is to provide family members and caregivers with a much-needed break from their caregiving responsibilities, so that they can rest and recharge.

- Home Safety Checklist
according to Alzheimer’s Association
Individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias are at increased risk for
injury or harm in certain areas of the home. As the disease progresses, they may
become unaware of the dangers that exist. Consider taking the following precautions
to create a safe environment, which may prevent dangerous situations from occurring
and help maximize the person’s independence for as long as possible.
General Home Safety Tips
1. Store potentially hazardous items, such as medication, alcohol, matches, sharp objects or small appliances and tools, in a securely locked cabinet.
2. Keep all cleaning products, such as liquid laundry pacs and bleach, out of sight or secured to avoid possible ingestion of harmful chemicals.
3. Keep the number for the local poison control center handy or saved in your phone in case of emergency.
4. Make sure carbon monoxide and smoke detectors and fire extinguishers are available and inspected regularly.
5. Replace batteries twice a year during daylight saving time.
6. Remove tripping hazards such as throw rugs, extension cords and excessive clutter.
7. Keep walkways and rooms well lit. Secure large furniture, such as book shelves, cabinets or large TVs, to prevent tipping.
8. Ensure chairs have armrests to provide support when going from a sitting to standing position.
9. Apply stickers to glass doors at eye level to ensure doors are visible.
10. Install a latch or deadbolt either above or below eye level on all doors.
11. Remove locks on interior doors to prevent the person living with dementia from locking themself in.
12. Consider removing firearms from the home or storing them in a locked cabinet.
