When a senior is diagnosed with an age-related condition or simply feels tasks that once came naturally to be increasingly difficult, they often turn to their loved ones for help. If you're supporting a loved one so they can continue to age in place, you may at some point feel overwhelmed or exhausted by your duties. Respite care can help you get the rest you deserve and support your ability to deliver high-quality care for your loved one in Crystal Lake.

At Visiting Angels^® Crystal Lake, we know caregiving can be a rewarding experience for families. However, this doesn't mean it is always easy. We offer the helping hand unpaid family caregivers frequently need to reduce their stress levels and find balance in their caregiving routine.

What is Respite Care?

Many family caregivers aren't aware that respite care is an option they can look into. With this kind of care, the family caregiver continues to support their loved one but can request help from a professional care provider whenever they need a break. That way, they can avoid burnout without having to give up their role in their loved one's care.

Our respite care services at Visiting Angels Crystal Lake often take the form of either short-term care visits or temporary care plans. Many of our clients choose to go on vacation, run errands, or engage in self-care while we fill in for them by supporting their loved one with aging in place.
