Helping Family Caregivers Find Time to Care for Themselves
Home Instead Senior Care's Respite program provides you, the caregiver, with a necessary and well deserved break. We give you the time you need to care for yourself and "recharge" your physical, spiritual and emotional batteries. Respite Care helps you maintain your sense of balance.
The role you've taken as a family caregiver is critical. Your loved one and other family members depend on you. However, as the primary caregiver, not only do you deserve an occasional break, it's needed. It is imperative you take the time to care for yourself - to ensure you're not rundown and stay up to the challenges of this daunting responsibility. The emotional experiences involved with providing care can strain even the most capable people. Feelings of anger, anxiety, sadness, isolation, exhaustion - and then guilt for having these feelings - can exact a heavy toll. According to a national survey by Home Instead Senior Care of adults who are currently caring for an aging loved one, seventy-two percent do so without any outside help. To avoid burnout and stress, consider hiring a professional non-medical caregiver for assistance. There is no need to feel guilty for seeking help.
A Vacation from Worries
Home Instead Senior Care's team of professional CAREGivers are ready to step in. We offer considerate care and concern for your loved one so you can get a break. Whether you need to shop, attend a child's school event, go to church or your own scheduled doctor's appointments, get some exercise, have lunch with a friend or just put your feet up, our respite care allows you to relax. You will know your family member is well care for.
Our Respite Care program is also a wonderful solution when you go on vacation, travel for the holidays, or attend an out-of-town event such as a wedding or reunion.
Tailored to Meet Your Needs
Our sevices are flexible and can be arranged on a short-term basis. Your Home Instead CAREGiver can provide Respite Care daily, weekly, or as needed. Respite Care can be arranged for just a few hours, for overnights, or for 24-hour care. While it cannot change your loved one's needs for care and companionship, Respite Care can significantly improve your ability to deal with the pressures.
