At Visiting Angels of Aurora, we know there is nothing more important than family. And as more and more seniors enter their golden years, many families are helping to care for aging loved ones, aiding with meals, home maintenance, transportation, and more. Caring for those we love is the most generous thing we can do and respite care from a personal care assistant at Visiting Angels of Aurora means you can be even better at providing for your loved one’s needs.

How Does Respite Care Benefit Seniors and Family Caregivers?

To provide the best possible care, family caregivers also need to be taking good care of themselves. Family members who provide care for elderly loved ones can run of risk of being stretched thin, caring for children as well as aging parents, or balancing work needs with family needs. It can be easy for family members to "burn out" over time. However, despite feeling exhausted from caregiving responsibilities, many family caregivers find it difficult to seek help. Your loved one has been a big part of your life for many years, so you may naturally feel guilty about looking into options for professional senior care.

Respite care from Visiting Angels of Aurora means you can step away from your care-giving responsibilities for whatever length of time you need—whether that is a few hours a day, or for several days at a time—and know that you have a partner in providing the best possible care for your loved one.

Because we are in the business of home care for seniors, we know how labor-intensive providing care to your loved one can be. We provide quality care to make sure that family members can take time for themselves and each other, so that you can enjoy your relationship with your aging loved one for as long as possible. At the same time, our caregivers will work around your loved one's schedule and provide the care they truly need so they can continue to follow their everyday routine while having a caring presence to make sure they're safe and comfortable.
