There are a few respite care facilities that exist in the form of day care centres and residential facilities. There were 6 residential facilities, 4 in Kerala, 1 in Karnataka and 1 in Maharashtra (ARDSI, 2010) as of 2010. There were also 10 day-care centres at which trained professionals provide care to people with dementia during the day (ARDSI, 2010).
