Caring for a loved one can be both rewarding and exhausting. When the balance shifts and you feel more stressed than fulfilled, it may be time to take a break. Respite care from Visiting Angels® Eau Claire can give you the opportunity to invest in some self-care and spend time away from your caregiving duties without wondering whether your loved one will be okay without you. 

What is Respite Care?

This type of home care enables family caregivers to remain in the lead when it comes to their loved one's care. Rather than taking over their responsibilities completely, our care professionals step in to provide a helping hand on a short-term basis. We can arrange for temporary care plans or ongoing care visits that give family caregivers regularly scheduled time off. 

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Eau Claire

Respite care is incredibly helpful for family caregivers and substantially reduces their risk of encountering the symptoms of burnout. However, seniors also benefit from engaging with our care professionals, who are focused on promoting their quality of life and ensuring they experience holistic care tailored to their preferences.

Our services include standard types of care such as companion care and personal care. In addition, we can provide specialized Alzheimer's care, dementia care, transitional care, and the many other forms of assistance seniors require to live safely alone at home.

While each of our clients' care plans is different, we are often requested to provide the following services when delivering respite care in Eau Clair:

• Transporting seniors to doctors' appointments
• Running errands, including grocery shopping
• Cooking meals and tidying up the home
• Assisting with bathing, grooming, and other essential tasks
• Conversing with seniors and preventing isolation
