What is Respite Care?

Respite care can be considered an overarching system of support for family caregivers in the Naperville area. In contrast to other forms of home care, this program has family caregivers continue to provide the bulk of caregiving duties. A care professional will step in to assist as needed, whether that’s while the family caregiver is on vacation or when certain types of support are required.

This kind of care gives exhausted family caregivers the ability to find time for rest, recuperation, and a greater degree of balance. While they are tending to their own self-care, they can have peace of mind their loved ones are in the safe, supportive hands of a senior care professional.
