As someone who provides care for an elderly loved one, it is often difficult to find the right balance. Many people in your situation end up sacrificing their own needs and well-being while trying to manage their loved one's senior care. With respite care from Visiting Angels^® Chicago Lakeshore, it doesn't have to be this way. We can provide the flexible and consistent support you need to keep your loved one safe, happy, and secure without suffering from caregiver burnout. 

What is Respite Care?

Our care delivers flexible assistance for family care providers. One of our caregivers will take over for you and allow you to take a guilt-free rest while we make sure your loved one is safe, healthy, and secure. This is the ideal care option for those that want to remain involved but in a much healthier and sustainable way. 

Caregiver burnout not only affects your own personal health, but it can also affect the quality of your loved one's home care. If you are stressed, tired, and overwhelmed, it is difficult for you to provide the loving and patient support your loved one requires. By taking a step back and enlisting our support, you can create a more positive situation for you and your loved one.
