German term or phrase: Verhinderungspflege
keine Erläuterung dazu, dies ist erwartete Zielgruppe des Hotelbetreibers, gemeint sind wohl Urlauber mit Handicap, die deswegen dort sind, weil derjenige, der sie sonst pflegt, nicht da ist (also verhindert) oder versteht ihr etwas anderes darunter?

Explanation:
A good explanation of Verhinderungspflege can be found here:
www.landhaus-seebeck.de/Verhinderungspflege.htm


I found several sites using the term "substitute care" for the concept of Verhinderungspflege, see, for instance
www.gelijkekansen.vlaanderen.be/reader/pdf reader/ Ungerson%20Clare%201995%20-%20gender%20&%20cash%2

Maybe that'll work for you

agree  Ulrike Lieder (X): Much better than what I'd found!

neutral  gangels (X): respite is a break from a routine (caretaking), so what you say is actually the opposite of what is meant. "Caretaker", not carer

Explanation:
close to what Klaus has, but I think if you can twist it around to refer to the actual caregivers themselve it will be more understandable

Explanation:
Zuerst dachte ich an einen Tippfehler Verhinderung anstelle von Behinderung. Aber anscheinend scheint es wirklich so etwas wie Verhinderungspflege zu geben.
