My DH cousin has similar problems with his Dad but they use the respite for a break - normally away a week and catch up with home things for the second week and see relatives/friends that they can't do when caring. The Dad says he doesn't like it to them and then tells DH about the meals he has had and people he has met and activities. They use it twice a year.
