What is Respite Care?

Respite Care New Hampshire

Respite care is defined as the transfer of primary caregiving responsibilities to another person, typically a professional caregiver, relative, or friend, in order for primary caregivers to receive temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities.

Respite care can take many forms – some family caregivers choose to have someone take on caregiver duties for a few hours a week or a few hours a day. Respite care can also be used for longer periods of time to accommodate an extended break or vacation.

At Comfort Keepers, we offer customized services and flexible scheduling that gives family caregivers a well-deserved break. Care can be scheduled as needed or as part of a weekly routine. Our specially trained Comfort Keepers^® help seniors live comfortably and safely in their own homes while engaging them in intellectual, physical, and emotional interactions that make their days better.

What You Need to Know When Caring for a Senior Loved One

Caring for a senior loved one is both rewarding and challenging. Family caregivers need to remember that it’s important to take necessary breaks and practice self-care so they can ensure that they continue to find joy in their role.

Caregiving can be a rewarding and bonding experience within a family, yet in even the best situations; the responsibility and ongoing routine can be stressful and tiring—especially when balanced with a job or caring for children.

When family caregivers are emotionally drained, they are likely less effective at playing this critical role. Comfort Keepers® Central-Northern New Hampshire respite care provides temporary relief to those who care for family members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home. Our respite care services give you peace of mind and assurance that your loved one will be safe while you take a much-needed break.

It’s important to recognize that being a family caregiver can come with feelings of loss, stress, and physical strain. Caregivers risk their own health and well-being when they don’t account for their own needs or take a break when necessary, and respite care provides a convenient solution for many families.

With respite care, family caregivers rediscover the joy they first found in caring for their loved one. We help families find the perfect balance between caring for their family members and taking good care of themselves. Our Comfort Keepers are caregivers who are passionate about their work, build meaningful connections with client families, and ensure everyone is on the same page.
