I have a couple of events I dearly want to attend. I feel it would not be good if I took my husband with me. I have the option of 5 days respite care.
Has anyone had their LO in short term respite care? If so, what was your person like upon being back home with you?
Since my husband wasn't remembering much, it was not bad when he came home. It was just another day . They said he was fine but asked for the other lady ( me) the told him I was off.
My husband is going to respite care next month for the first time. I'm nervous about how he will do. I requested it through the social worker at the VA. We are allowed 30 days per calendar year. I sure hope it goes well for both of us.

Who do I contact for respite care. Should I contact the individual faculties? 🙃
I have no experience with respite, but the others commenting seem to feel he'll be OK.
