RESPITE CARE
Is a short-term break for caregivers who are usually the own family. Caring for someone who is sick or disabled, is a 24-hour job and some time you need a break from time to time to take care of your own needs, relax, vacation, shop, appointments, work, or exercise.
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 wellbeing 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.
Professional caregivers can visit as frequently as you desire on a temporary or long-term basis. Respite care is available weekdays, weekends and holidays.
Respite care offers a safe, comfortable place for your loved one while you’re away. Trained providers can sit and talk with someone who’s disabled or ill. They may also help your loved one:
- Personal Care
- Light Housekeeping
- Feeding
- Companionship
- Stimulator Conversation
- Remember Medication
- Exercise
- Enjoy the outdoors
- Get in and out of bed
