Delaware Lifespan Respite

Caregiver Support · Delaware · Free

State respite care coalitions and programs in Delaware via ARCH National Respite Network. Worth contacting before burnout sets in — most caregivers wait too long to ask for help. Phone-based and in-person intake; many state programs send a care manager for a one-time home visit at no cost. Burnout is the leading cause of nursing home placement, not the senior's medical condition. Respite isn't a luxury, it's a placement-prevention tool. Open at no cost to Delaware seniors and the families supporting them.
