Respite Care in Dover

Providing full-time care for an elderly relative is a very difficult job. With our respite care, Visiting Angels^® Dover can help you create a much more manageable situation. This care option involves occasional assistance from one of our caregivers to provide family members with the chance to rest. With our help, you can take frequent breaks and tend to your own life without any reduction in your loved one's quality of care. 

What is Respite Care?

The goal of this service is to support family caregivers. Unlike our other home care options, under this plan you will remain the primary caregiver for your loved one. Instead of taking over full-time, we will provide occasional relief as often as you require. We will adapt to your schedule and provide customized assistance that allows you to step away without any stress or guilt. 

In addition to providing a safe and stable home environment for your loved one, the main goal of this service is to help you avoid caregiver burnout. When focused on keeping an elderly loved one in the best situation possible, it's easy to lose sight of your own well-being. Hiring our service is a great way to tend to your own mental health without any sacrifices to your loved one's quality of care. 

With our support, you can avoid serious exhaustion and burnout while creating a better situation for your parent or relative. Everyone needs time to decompress and relax, and we are happy to help you create a more balanced lifestyle. 

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Dover

Our caregivers perform a range of different duties, according to your relative's needs. Some of these include:

• Laundry, errands, and cleaning
• Healthy meal planning
• Medication reminders
• Self-care support (bathing, toileting, grooming, etc.)
