    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of recent respite care research.
    • Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of different care models.
    • Identification of practical and policy issues related to caregiver investment.

    Main Results:

    • Investing in caregiver well-being (physical, financial, emotional) is potentially more cost-effective than treating them as patients.
    • Caregiver burnout can lead to increased healthcare utilization and costs.
    • Strategic investment in respite care can mitigate these negative outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Prioritizing caregiver support through initiatives like respite care is crucial for sustainable healthcare.
