Caregiving for an elderly loved one can be challenging and even dangerous when family members are too busy or unable to provide adequate care. Visiting Angels Fort Smith can help by providing respite care. Families in Fort Smith, Van Buren, Alma, Greenwood, and the rest of Arkansas can count on us for high-quality in-home care services for their aging loved ones.

Why is Respite Care Important for Seniors in Fort Smith, Van Buren, AR, and the Surrounding Areas

Respite care is a type of home care for elderly adults that helps them with everyday tasks while giving their family caregivers a break without guilt or worry. Caregiver stress and burnout can occur if a family caregiver is unable to take breaks when they are needed. Anxiety, hopelessness, chronic headaches, fatigue, and social withdrawal are all symptoms of caregiver stress. Burnout not only negatively impacts the health and well-being of the caregiver but also puts the senior at risk of receiving inadequate care.

Seniors in Fort Smith and surrounding communities can rest assured knowing they will receive individualized care from Visiting Angels Fort Smith while their family caregivers enjoy a well-deserved break. Caregivers can relax and enjoy their time off knowing that their loved one is receiving the highest quality of care possible, as our senior care services are provided by trained professionals and tailored to the individual needs of each client.

Why Choose Respite Care from Visiting Angels Fort Smith?

We at Visiting Angels Fort Smith are happy to provide respite care services for the benefit of family caregivers and their loved ones in the River Valley region. Our home care services encompass a comprehensive range of options, from basic companionship and assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) to complex dementia care and support for seniors living with chronic health issues. Our care plans are flexible and can be arranged to fit your needs and those of your loved one.

Our respite care services include:

• Temporary Care: When you need help taking care of a loved one but are temporarily unable to do so (due to an emergency, a trip, or anything else), temporary care from one of our professional caregivers is an option.

• Part-Time Care: Part-time care is available for seniors who need in-home care for a few hours a week. This allows family caregivers to take a much-needed break once a week, whether to catch up on chores or go out to lunch with a friend in the knowledge that their loved one will receive the care they require while they are away.

• Support Care: The demands of caring for an elderly loved one can be overwhelming at times. Support care entails our caregivers teaming up with family caregivers to share the load, lend a helping hand, and keep an eye on things.

Our mission at Visiting Angels Fort Smith is to give local seniors the help they need, so they can stay in their own homes as long as possible. Our home care agency has been working with seniors and families in Fort Smith, Van Buren, Alma, Greenwood, and the surrounding areas since 2005.
