Respite care: the part of hospice many caregivers don’t know about. 🛏️
If you’re the one doing most of the caring, you can get a break.
What it is: short-term care for your loved one, arranged by the hospice team, so you can rest.
How long: up to 5 days at a time, in a Medicare-approved facility.
How often: it can be used more than once, but only occasionally.
What it costs: under Original Medicare, 5% of the Medicare-approved amount.
Who arranges it: the hospice team. Ask them first.
Costs depend on your coverage, so ask the hospice team about your situation.
Send this to the caregiver in your family who never takes a break. 💛
