What Are Respite Care Services?

Respite care is temporary care that shifts primary caregiver responsibilities to another person, often a professional caregiver, family member, or friend, to provide primary caregivers a break from caring responsibilities.

There are several types of respite care programs. Some family caregivers choose to have someone take over caring duties for a few hours a week or a few hours a day while away from their loved ones. Additionally, we provide temporary relief for extended durations to allow a lengthy leave or vacation.

What to Know When Caring for an Aging Loved One

Caring for an older family member or friend may be rewarding and challenging. To ensure that individuals enjoy their roles as family caregivers, they must remember to take appropriate breaks and practice self-care regularly.

It is essential to recognize that primary caregivers can experience sadness, anxiety, and physical exhaustion. Caregivers jeopardize their health and well-being by failing to account for their needs or take a much-needed break. For many families, in-home care services are an excellent alternative.

With our respite care services, family caregivers can reclaim the joy they previously felt while caring for a loved one. We assist families in striking the optimal balance between caring for a family member and self-care. Our caring caregivers form strong bonds with families and ensure everyone is on the same page.
