For Family Caregivers – Colorado Respite Coalition

Family Caregivers

Overview

Respite care for you = better care for your loved one.

Respite care allows family caregivers to rest and renew, to help support and maintain their well-being. Family caregivers face unique joys and challenges in their care for loved ones. The Colorado Respite Coalition (CRC) helps connect family caregivers with respite resources and information. The CRC supports family caregivers caring for loved ones of any age and any extensive care needs.

Paying For Respite

Most respite providers typically charge and hourly rate or a flat rate. There are a variety of government, community, nonprofit and individuals funding streams available to pay for respite services.

Compensation For Caregiving

Many family caregivers may have the opportunity to be reimbursed or paid for some of their time spent caregiving. Such opportunities may benefit the primary caregiver and family unit.
