Taking time off to look after your own needs will help ensure your loved one can rely on you as their family caregiver. However, you may not know how you can possibly take a break when your loved one requires constant support. Respite care from Visiting Angels^® Griffin can offer the relief you're looking for. Family caregivers often come too close to burnout, and our services make it possible to step away from overwhelming responsibilities and recharge.

What is Respite Care?

Although many families are in need of respite care, they don't often know what it is exactly. These services can take many forms, but generally include temporary assistance for seniors that gives family caregivers a much-needed break. At our local care agency in the Griffin area, we strive to be as flexible as possible so family caregivers can get time off when they need it. For example, you can book visits from one of our care professionals on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis.

While your loved one is being cared for in their own home by a professional you trust, you can go on vacation or simply rest and relax in Griffin. What's most important is that you have time for self-care, which allows you to maintain a balanced relationship with your loved one and regain the energy to keep caring for them.
