Respite care forms a much-needed system of support for unpaid family caregivers and their loved ones. This type of home care provided by Visiting Angels^® Doylestown often involves short-term care plans or temporary care visits. However, it can also include care delivered on an ongoing, regularly scheduled basis.

With a professional caregiver to support you in your caregiving duties, you can take time away from your exhausting schedule without making a sacrifice to the quality of your loved one’s care. The entire team at our agency understands how difficult your situation can be at times, and we’re ready to make a positive difference in both your life and the life of the loved one you care for.

What is Respite Care?

As a valued lifeline for family caregivers, respite care can take many forms. While care professionals take on the majority of the work with other types of home care, this category of care enables you to continue to take charge when it comes to managing your loved one’s needs. That way, you can substantially minimize your risk of burnout while caring for your loved one in a more manageable way.
