With respite care from Visiting Angels, you can rest assured that your senior loved one in Gadsden, AL receives the quality in-home care they need while you take some time for yourself

Providing care for a loved one who needs your help as they age is one of the most rewarding and noblest things you can do. However, while it is gratifying knowing that you are assisting them with daily tasks and supporting them as they continue their routine at home, being a family caregiver does come with its own challenges. Fortunately, at Visiting Angels Gadsden, we offer a solution for those times when you need a break to take care of your own needs.

To be the best possible caregiver for your parent or relative, you have to focus on yourself and your well-being, too. You should eat a healthy diet, incorporate physical activity into your schedule, take breaks and look after your mental and emotional health as well. Many primary or family care providers often neglect their needs, shifting all their attention to their loved one. Respite care enables you to rest and recharge your batteries for a few hours or days.

How Respite Care Helps Families in Gadsden

When you choose to work with Visiting Angels Gadsden, we will match your loved one with one of our experienced, compassionate and trustworthy caregivers. The selected care provider can visit your loved one a few hours a day or a couple of times a week to let you and other members of your family finish work, run errands, take a vacation or simply rest.

With our interim home care services, you get peace of mind that your loved one is well provided for whenever you are unable to care for them. Our caregivers do not only provide companionship and conversation, they help with a myriad of daily tasks as well. For example, your loved one’s care provider can assist them with bathing, dressing, and toileting, offer transferring and mobility assistance and ensure other personal care needs are met. The caregiver can also help around the house by preparing healthy meals and cleaning the home.

Due to the professionalism of our services and friendliness of our caregivers, your loved one can look forward to these visits while you can put your mind at ease that they are safe whenever you need to go away for a few hours.
