Short-Term Respite Care for Elderly Adults in Eldersburg, MD
As an aging parent or another family member begins to need some daily living assistance, it is natural for family members to assume the role of caregiver. You may be helping a loved one get to doctor's appointments, picking up their medications and groceries, and doing laundry or housekeeping. As much as you would like to provide the type of daily care your loved one needs, this may not be realistic.
Managing your career, personal life, home responsibilities and your loved one's care can become overwhelming. This is where short-term respite care for elderly adults from Visiting Angels Eldersburg can help.

Our options for short-term respite care for elderly adults are also useful for seniors with more advanced care needs. Often, family caregivers want to provide care for their loved ones but are unqualified or unable to help. For tasks like bathing, grooming, toileting and incontinence care, transferring and positioning, it is best to bring in a professional caregiver. Our senior care providers can come in each morning to help your loved one bathe, get dressed, fed and ready for the day. This allows family members to focus on their time spent with loved ones, not worrying about their loved one's safety or physical comfort.
