This article describes the range of respite care options that are helping families of cognitively impaired adults under the auspices of California's statewide system of Caregiver Resource Centers. Types of respite provided include in-home care, adult day care and other group care programs, and overnight respite options outside the home, ranging from short-term care of the patient in a facility to weekend retreats designed for caregivers. The hallmarks of the program are flexibility, choice, and consumer control.
