Did you realize family caregivers can take a much-needed break through respite care provided by the care professionals at Visiting Angels^® Hilton Head? This kind of elder care typically takes the form of short-term care visits or temporary support. With a reliable care provider assisting your loved one, you can enjoy a bit of time away from the busy schedule of caregiving. While you are enjoying your time off, you never have to worry that you are compromising the quality of your loved one's care. 

What is Respite Care?

Caring for a loved one involves more than providing physical support. It also requires you to expend your mental and emotional energy. Without time to rest and recuperate, you may find you start feeling burned out and exhausted. Respite care can make a positive difference in your life by ensuring you have the opportunity to look after your own needs and your other responsibilities. At the same time, your loved one in Hilton Head will get the chance to interact with someone new while receiving exceptional support tailored to their current routines.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Hilton Head

Respite care isn't only an option if your loved one has basic care requirements. Our local care agency is staffed with professional caregivers who can deliver a wide range of care services, including those of an advanced nature. This means we can step in to support your loved one if they have Alzheimer's disease, dementia, challenging mobility limitations, or specialized care requests.

While family caregivers take a short break or extended vacation, our care providers can:

• Help seniors with their bathing and grooming routines
• Cook meals and go grocery shopping
• Keep track of medication schedules and offer reminders
• Take care of basic tasks around the house, including chores
• Participate in social activities and engage in joyful conversation
