Providing the care and companionship your aging loved one needs can be challenging. It can also be difficult to balance their needs with your needs and obligations. Without sufficient help or time away, you may begin to experience caregiver burnout. Our respite care in Gainesville is here to help. At Visiting Angels^® Gainesville, our caregivers can lend a helping hand when you need a break.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a type of home care that involves a caregiver providing assistance and companionship for your loved one while you are away. It is a temporary or short-term type of care that allows family caregivers time away from their duties. You will be able to focus on your career, take time for self-care, and spend time with family and friends. While you are away, you can rest assured your loved one is in friendly and capable hands.

How Respite Care Helps Caregivers in Gainesville

At Visiting Angels Gainesville, we understand the sacrifices caregivers make every day. On the surface, caring for a loved one can seem easy, but it can also be draining. Over time, caregivers may experience caregiver burnout. This can manifest itself in fatigue, resentment of your loved one, and frustration. Our respite services allow family caregivers to take breaks, which helps combat burnout.

Our caregivers are knowledgeable and passionate about in-home elderly care. We assist with a variety of everyday tasks and provide valuable companionship for seniors in our area. Here are some of the home care services included in our respite care:

• Light housekeeping
• Meal planning and preparation
• Friendly companionship
• Medication reminders
• Respectful personal care assistance
• Running errands

One perk of our care is the flexibility we offer. Our caregivers have around-the-clock availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. If you need a week off for vacation, our caregivers can accommodate your scheduling needs. We also offer part-time care for family caregivers who need specific hours or days off each week. We are here to ensure the needs of both you and your loved one are met each day.
