The Center for Volunteer Caregiving
A respite volunteer acts as a companion to someone who lives with a debilitating physical condition, such as stroke, or who may have a cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer's disease; thus providing respite, or a break, for the family caregiver. As a volunteer companion, you would be giving the family caregiver the opportunity to leave the house to tend to their own medical care, perform outside errands, or benefit from a change of scene.
Respite care can involve sitting with, or engaging in activities, with the care receiver while the family caregiver is away. Volunteers are generally given a steady assignment to a particular family to develop relationships.
