What Is Respite Care?

Respite care provides short-term relief for primary caregivers, giving them time to rest, travel, or spend time with other family and friends. The care may last anywhere from a few hours to several weeks at a time. Respite care can take place at home, in a health care facility, or at an adult day care center.

Matching service registries are online platforms that help home care consumers and workers find one another. They vary in structure, but in all cases, matching service registries are designed to enable consumers to identify and contact nearby workers with the right mix of skills, experience, and availability—and enable workers to find clients and build sustainable work schedules. These registries serve a critical need: Medicaid programs that allow consumers to directly employ their own home care workers are growing in number and popularity, but self-directing consumers struggle to recruit and retain workers because of the nationwide home care workforce shortage.
