As an unpaid family caregiver, do you often wish you had a lifeline to call on when your responsibilities feel too overwhelming? Partner with our respite care providers in Northwest Houston to help ensure you always get the time off you need when you need it. At Visiting Angels® Houston Northwest, we offer at-home senior care services that can be scheduled at your convenience. This means you can finally have the chance to take a break while knowing your loved one is being properly cared for.

Most importantly, taking some time off to spend on self-care can help you be a better caregiver. After enjoying some rest and relaxation, you'll have more energy to devote to meeting your loved one's care needs.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is more than a set of senior home care services. In many ways, it is a support system for unpaid family caregivers. This care type differs from other forms of home care that we offer in that family caregivers continue performing most of the work of caregiving on their own. Professional care visits can be scheduled whenever they need respite, whether that is for a few hours every week or while they go on a long-awaited out-of-town vacation.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Northwest Houston

Our services can address and accommodate a broad spectrum of senior home care needs. Because of the range of services and care types we offer, we can assist seniors with memory disorders, mobility limitations, and other challenging age-related circumstances.

• Assisting with bathing routines

• Engaging in joyful conversation
• Offering emotional support
