How Our Respite Care Services Benefit Families in Bangor, ME and Surrounding Areas

Being the family caregiver is a 24-7 job. But to provide the best senior care services to your loved one, it is important that you also take care of yourself. It is good to focus your attention on your loved one, but what is not right is when you start to neglect other facets of your life and eventually burn out. Asking for a breather is not a bad thing at all. After all, we are all humans, and we don’t run like clockwork at all times. So, if you want to stop and smell the roses but you want your loved one to be in good hands, Visiting Angels Mid Maine's respite care services can lend you a helping hand.

Professional respite care services from Visiting Angels can provide you with the assistance that you need. We can visit your loved one several times a week to provide them with services such as assisted living. Our senior care services can help your loved one perform basic everyday tasks such as bathing, dressing, and getting from room to room. We can also provide transportation services in case your loved ones need to get to a medical appointment, run errands, socialize with friends and family in person, and more. If your loved one needs help around the house, our senior care providers are well-trained to assist with chores such as shopping, light housekeeping, and preparing healthy meals for your loved ones. But more importantly, our senior care services can provide genuine companions while you are out running some errands or just resting in the other room.

Visiting Angels Mid Maine Also Offers Full-Time Home Care

If you've already gotten started with in-home respite care from Visiting Angels Mid Maine, keep in mind that we also offer options for full-time home care. Because we offer a personalized and flexible approach to caring for seniors, our clients can adjust their care plans at any time to add and remove services, reschedule caregiver visits, extend or shorten the length of caregiver visits, and more. That means if you feel your loved one would benefit from longer, more comprehensive caregiver visits, you can get in touch with our office and request any modifications as needed.

We understand that as time goes on, our clients' circumstances will change and they may need a different approach to their care. Because we can easily adapt to our clients' needs, we can ensure that your loved one will receive the support they need to age in place for as long as they wish.

Going from respite care to full-time care can be highly helpful if:

• Family caregivers move outside of the Bangor area and are no longer available to handle caregiving responsibilities;
• A loved one is diagnosed with a chronic health issue that requires support from a professional caregiver;
• Advanced age-related issues cause your loved one to struggle more with everyday tasks and staying safe;
• Your loved one starts needing help at night to get enough sleep, avoid wandering, and other issues.
