A break is part of a sustainable care plan.
Family caregiving can be meaningful and still leave little room for sleep, appointments, work or time with other family members. Waiting until exhaustion makes every part of care harder.

Familiar routines
The caregiver follows the client’s documented preferences and normal daily rhythm.
Appropriate care tasks
Personal care, companionship, meals or other approved support can be included in the plan.
