What respite care includes in Georgia
Respite care is a short stay in a licensed community — a week or two — that gives a family caregiver a break, covers a recovery, or lets a family try a community before committing.
It is provided within DCH/HFRD-licensed Personal Care Home or Assisted Living Community settings under the same rules as long-term stays. A typical monthly range is $150 to $340 a day.
