Respite care is a form of home care that relieves family caregivers of their responsibilities and ensures they have time to meet their own need for self-care. At Visiting Angels^® Charlotte, our care services typically take the form of short-term care plans or temporary care visits. However, our care providers are also able to deliver care on an ongoing basis, supporting family caregivers in making their duties more manageable and their lifestyle more balanced.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care covers so much more than caring for seniors in the comfort of their own homes in Charlotte. We aim for our services to become a support system for unpaid family caregivers. As it’s so common for these individuals to experience caregiver burnout, it’s clear many family caregivers often don’t reach out for help until it’s too late. If you feel you’ve put too much on your plate, our services can enable you to continue participating in your loved one’s care while also finding time for yourself.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Charlotte

Respite caregiving includes our full range of services, meaning we can meet almost any senior care need. Personal care and companion care are some of the most frequently requested types of care we deliver, but we can also accommodate more specialized needs for Alzheimer's care and dementia care. You can have peace of mind knowing we’ll only match your loved one with a care provider who is equipped to help them live life on their own terms while promoting their safety and personal well-being.

Below are some of the activities our caregivers can assist your loved one with:

• Remembering to take medications
• Light chores around the house
• Preparing healthy meals
• Bathing, dressing, and grooming routines
• Transportation to appointments
• Running errands to the store or pharmacy
