What Is Respite Care?
Respite care involves hourly or short term home care services provided by professional caregivers. These services are designed to offer relief and support for families or individuals who are providing care to a senior loved one who is functionally impaired, chronically ill, or terminally ill. The primary goal of respite care is to give family caregivers an opportunity to take a break from their role without having to worry about their loved one’s safety or level of care.
What Are the Benefits of Respite Care?
Respite care offers many benefits for both seniors and their families. For elderly individuals, respite care can help them stay in the comfort of their own homes while still getting the high-quality care they need from trained professionals. For seniors who live alone at home, respite care provides an additional layer of support. Our professional respite caregivers provide companionship at home or during outings with the senior, which can stave off loneliness and social isolation.
For family caregivers, respite care services can provide much-needed rest and a chance to recharge their energy. Additionally, it can give family caregivers more time to take care of themselves and enjoy activities they otherwise wouldn’t be able to do due to their responsibilities.
