Caring for a loved one can be rewarding on the one hand and challenging on the other. Respite care can help you get the rest you need to be the best caregiver for your aging parent or grandparent. At Visiting Angels^® Issaquah, we help family caregivers take time away from their caregiving responsibilities without worry or guilt. Because we offer high-quality professional care, you'll always know your loved one is in the best of hands, even when you're focusing on your own needs.

What is Respite Care?

Through respite care at Visiting Angels Issaquah, we aim to provide a support system for the unpaid family caregivers in our community. Care can be delivered during short-term visits designed to help the family caregiver take a vacation, or through regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits. Thanks to the flexible approach to care planning maintained by our care agency, you can get the respite you need in a range of situations and even on short notice.

The help of our care professionals can contribute to reducing your risk of burnout and improving your relationship with your loved one. When you have the time needed for self-care and relaxation, you can be fully rested and ready to be present with your loved one when it matters most.

How Respite Care Helps

The caregiving services available range from standard types of support such as companion care and personal care to more specialized services in the categories of Alzheimer's care and dementia care. 

Below are some of the duties that our care professionals often take on:

• Socializing with the senior to prevent loneliness
• Doing minor housekeeping and organization
• Meal prep and grocery shopping
• Monitoring and medication reminders
• Helping out with showering and grooming
• Transportation and mobility support
