What is Respite Care?

Respite care differs from traditional home care in a few ways. For one, it is often scheduled in the form of short-term care visits or temporary care plans. However, we do also offer ongoing services for families in Fredericksburg who require a helping hand to reduce their overall workload. Additionally, family caregivers conduct the majority of caregiving tasks with this care type. They can request that a professional from our care team take on whatever level of responsibility they are most comfortable with. 

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Fredericksburg

We strive to ensure family caregivers are able to take steps to prevent caregiver burnout. This means regularly scheduling time away from the role of caregiving without having to worry about their loved one's well-being. Since our local care agency offers a multitude of care types and forms of support, you can have peace of mind about your loved one when they're in our hands no matter what kinds of care requirements they have.

For example, our caregivers can deliver the following services:

• Assistance with dressing, grooming, and bathing
