What is Respite Care and Who Qualifies?

Respite care provides temporary relief for family caregivers while ensuring their loved one continues receiving quality support. This care may be available for seniors, adults with disabilities, and children with special needs.

Respite services can last for a few hours, overnight, or longer depending on family needs. It gives caregivers time to rest, attend appointments, or manage responsibilities.

Families in New Orleans and across Louisiana may qualify through private pay or Medicaid programs.
