As one of the over 40 million Americans who act as unpaid family caregivers, you may occasionally wish you had more time in your schedule to care for yourself. Caregiving can be an exhausting task that requires both physical and emotional energy, and it is important that you are able to take time off to look after your own needs and self-care. However, you may not know how to take a break when your loved one is constantly in need of support. Our respite care providers in Mobile can be there for both you and your loved one in these overwhelming moments. 

What is Respite Care?

At Visiting Angels^® Coastal Alabama, we believe respite care is often essential for family caregivers to help them avoid burning the candle at both ends. Our services can be arranged for a set period of time that gives you a short-term break from your caregiving responsibilities. After hitting pause on your busy schedule and getting the rest you need, you can return to your loved one's side feeling rested and ready to help them age in place.
