Adult daycare offers a respite for caregivers and for those being cared for. Your loved one may enjoy a change of scenery, some new activities and companionship. And, as a caregiver, you may appreciate the support while you handle work and or other everyday tasks like grocery shopping or laundry.
It may also be an opportunity for caregivers to take a break themselves and go for walk or have coffee with a friend, just to get a break from caregiving.
