Respite care isn't just another type of home care. It's a lifeline for overworked family caregivers who need a helping hand with their responsibilities. At Visiting Angels^® Anderson, we offer respite care services that can be adjusted to meet the needs and preferences of different families in our community. Visits from our care professionals make it possible for family caregivers to take time away from their duties, engage in self-care, and even go on vacation. As a result, they can prevent caregiver burnout while ensuring their loved one benefits from high-quality senior care at all times.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care generally involves short-term care visits designed to relieve family caregivers for a few hours, days, or even weeks. Care plans can be created on a temporary or ongoing basis depending upon how often the family caregiver requires time off.

One of the things that sets this type of care apart from other forms of care we offer is the fact that family caregivers continue to perform most of the work of caregiving on their own. Our care professionals simply step in to help out as needed. Of course, we only match families with care providers who can tend to the senior's full range of care requirements and address their personal concerns.
