How is Respite Care different from Short-Term Rehabilitation?

Although the duration of a Respite Care stay and a short-term rehabilitation stay may be similar, their goals differ. Temporary Care is intended as a short-term solution for caregivers, whereas short-term rehabilitation aims to support recovery from illness or injury. The experiences can be very similar, with all residents receiving compassionate, skilled nursing care with all of the benefits the local facility offers.
