While caring for a loved one may bring you joy, it may also bring physical, mental, and emotional stress. It's important to find balance in your role as a family caregiver so you can continue to be there for your loved one in the long run. Our respite care services at Visiting Angels^® Bend are designed to give family caregivers time off as needed, promoting a more sustainable and comfortable caregiving situation.  

What is Respite Care?

Respite care typically includes professional home care services for a short-term or temporary period. We match families with professional care providers in the Bend area who can take the place of unpaid family caregivers for a set amount of time. Family caregivers can use their breaks to rest and relax, tend to other priorities on their plate, or go on vacation. 

Our senior care agency offers a flexible approach to scheduling care visits that makes it easier to get help when it's needed most. For example, you could book a care visit for a few hours when you need to attend a meeting or appointment. You can also reach out for assistance when an emergency arises and your loved one needs last-minute support. Care visits can even be scheduled on an ongoing weekly or monthly basis to give family caregivers regular respite.
