Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respite care can provide temporary relief to the spouse and allow for some time away from caregiving responsibilities. The other options do not address the needs of the spouse. The patient's condition may not allow for participation in daily activities or visits to the senior center, and the option of long-term care placement may not be the best option for the patient and spouse at this time.
