What Exactly is In-Home Respite Care?
As a sort of short-term care, respite care allows primary caregivers to take a break from their obligations by delegating some of the responsibility to another person.
While away from their loved ones, some family caregivers prefer someone to take over their caring responsibilities for a few hours a week or a few hours a day. In-home respite care can also be used for extended periods to allow for a long vacation or absence.
What to Expect When Caring for an Older Adult
Being a caregiver for an older family member or friend may be both rewarding and challenging at the same time. People must take proper pauses and exercise self-care regularly to ensure that they continue to appreciate their duties as family caregivers.
It's vital to understand that being a primary caregiver can cause feelings of loss, anxiety, and weariness. Caregivers put their health and well-being at risk if they don't look after their own needs or take a well-deserved break. Home care is a feasible option for many families.
With short-term respite care, family caregivers can rediscover the joy they once felt while caring for a loved one. We assist families in finding the perfect balance of caring for a family member while also caring for themselves. Our caregivers build solid relationships with families and ensure everyone is on the same page.
