When your responsibilities feel overwhelming, it's necessary to take a break. You can always turn to our respite care providers in San Mateo to take over your duties as a family caregiver for a set period of time. At Visiting Angels^® Burlingame, we offer flexible services for unpaid family caregivers that allow them to benefit from having time for themselves and taking a more balanced approach to the task of caregiving. 

What is Respite Care?

Our respite care services at Visiting Angels Burlingame are designed to accommodate the different needs and preferences you may have throughout your experience as a family caregiver. For example, our team for the San Mateo area can step in to assist your loved one while you spend a few hours running errands or meeting with friends.

You can even choose to book visits from our care providers on a weekly or monthly basis for ongoing respite that makes your routine more manageable.
