Respite Services
We provide respite services and support on a short-term basis for planned or emergency situations. We are qualified to provide respite services in our clients' private homes or outside of their home. While providing respite care, we maintain the client's schedule of activities including activities that allow participation in the community. Our staff are trained to provide enhanced level of services based on the individual's needs.
Benefits of Respite Care
Caring for a loved one 24/7 can begin to wear on your physical and mental health. You may find yourself:
- Not eating right.
- Not sleeping well.
- Not feeling well.
Sometimes, resentment can build, prompting the caregiver to take out frustrations on the patient. But this doesn’t have to be the case.
Our senior care services cater to the caregiver’s mental and physical well-being. And when the caregiver—you—is healthy, the patient remains healthy, too. Respite care will:
- Offer relief, downtime and escape.
- Prevent the buildup of resentment.
- Improve the health and happiness of you and your loved one.
- Allow you to feel revived and refocused when you return.
How Respite Care Works
Depending on your needs, as well as those of your loved one, a respite care worker will come to your home for a few hours. These visits could be once a week, or three times per week. While the respite care worker tends to your loved one, you’re free to get away. You can use these hours to meet friends for lunch, attend a hair appointment, or even read a book in the backyard. The point is, this is your time to rest and recover.
