How can I create a respite zone in my home?

Related resource areas: Family Caregiving

Creating a respite zone for caregivers is extremely important. It's a place in the home reserved for the caregiver to use as a retreat away from a care receiver and caregiver tasks and a place to do self care.

The Summer 2005 issue of Vantage magazine has a valuable article on creating respite zones. You can find the full article at (see pages 20-21 of the article):
