When your responsibilities as a family caregiver have you feeling you're burning the candle at both ends, it's time to take a break. However, this is easier said than done when your loved one's needs require constant attention. You may worry about how they will fare while you are taking time off. Moreover, you may be concerned about putting their care needs in the hands of someone else. Fortunately, there are reliable respite care services you can turn to through the support of the care professionals at Visiting Angels^® Billings.

At our local care agency, we are always working to offer family caregivers a reliable support system that enables them to find balance in their journey as unpaid family caregivers. We understand caring for a loved one can be both exhausting and rewarding, and we strive to ensure family caregivers have the energy to offer their loved ones the best care possible.

What is Respite Care?

Generally used as a form of temporary care or short-term support, respite care services are designed to fill in for family caregivers while they are on vacation or taking a break for a set stretch of time. That being said, our scheduling process is flexible, and our services are customizable. This means family caregivers can request support from our care professionals as needed, and can even request regular visits on a weekly or monthly basis.
