A caregiver needs to be physically and emotionally healthy in order to
provide for their care recipient. That’s why respite care is so
important for caregivers, and care receivers, alike. This free course
from PsychArmor Institute, sponsored by USAA, breaks down
respite care and why it’s so beneficial. In 10 minutes, you’ll learn
how to plan ahead for respite care, what to do in the case of an
emergency, and the different ways you can make respite work for you.
