Respite care services are designed to support family caregivers who are struggling to accommodate the senior care needs of their loved ones. At Visiting Angels^® Farmington-Cape Girardeau, we strive to relieve family caregivers of the stress that often comes with caring for a grandparent, spouse, or parent. By giving them time off from their responsibilities, we make it possible for family caregivers to look after their own well-being while ensuring their loved ones receive high-quality care.

What is Respite Care in Farmington?

For many family caregivers, our services offer a much-needed support system. In contrast to other forms of home care, respite care enables family caregivers to take the lead and continue performing the majority of their caregiving duties. They can schedule visits from a professional care provider whenever they want to take a vacation or feel they need time off. In addition to delivering care on a short-term or temporary basis, our care professionals can also provide weekly, biweekly, and monthly care visits.

How Respite Care Helps

Our services benefit seniors with a wide range of care requirements. We offer standard forms of care such as companion care and personal care, as well as specialized Alzheimer’s care and dementia care services. Our flexible approach allows family caregivers to take time away from their duties even when their loved ones require advanced caregiving services. As we match care recipients with caregivers based on their needs and preferences, we always ensure seniors have the support they need when they are in the hands of our care providers.

Below are some of the many services offered by our caregivers:

• Support with housekeeping
• Planning and preparation of meals
• Reminders to take medications
• Assistance with grooming and getting dressed
• Help with bathing and personal care routines
