Whether provided in the home or in a facility, respite is an important service which allows family caregivers a break from caregiving and time to take care of personal and household needs. Several unique and replicable models of respite have been developed by Alzheimer's Demonstration grantees.

El Portal
Developing A Network of Dementia Services for Latinos (California Alzheimer's Demonstration Project)

Crow Eldercare
Serving Native Americans on the Reservation (Montana Alzheimer's Demonstration Project)

Community Ownership
Building Interagency Partnerships that Foster Community-Based Dementia Support Services (Michigan Alzheimer's Demonstration Project)
