Alzheimer's In-Home Respite provides relief to the primary caregivers through the Alzheimer's Disease Initiative Program. Home Health Aides are sent to the home to remain with the patients to allow caregivers time away from their supervisory responsibilities. Co-payments are assessed according to a sliding scale.
