Abstract
Care partners of people living with dementia have a full-time job of taking care of their loved ones. In this project, we have created a respite care manual using significant research to provide support and education for care partners and the importance of their health and wellbeing. The manual provides sessions that future participants will attend to learn and implement into their everyday lives. From previous research, it has been shown that there is limited time for care partners to participate in their desired occupations that has led them to burnout. It has been found that education programs have increased resilience and improved the quality of life for care partners and their recipients. The purpose of the manual is to educate the care partners on how to timely manage their desired occupations, stress management skills, and overall maintain their wellbeing. Further research is needed to provide additional evidence supporting the necessity of respite care manual programs for care partners of individuals living with dementia. Keywords: Care partners, dementia, respite, manual, program, wellbeing, resilience
