Relief from your caregiving duties is available through respite care services from our local care agency. At Visiting Angels^® Jonesboro, we realize family caregivers often find joy in helping a loved one, but can also encounter difficulties with finding balance in their lives when they devote all their time and energy to caregiving. We're determined to to help family caregivers avoid burnout and ensure they have the support they need to thrive in their role as they continue supporting their loved ones throughout the aging process. 

What is Respite Care?

As a family caregiver, you may not realize that a respite care provider can offer the support system you need. This type of care usually takes the form of temporary or short-term services. In other words, you'll continue acting as the primary caregiver for your loved one in the Jonesboro area, but can take time off as needed while knowing they're in good hands. You can use your time away from caregiving to run errands, meet with friends and family, or engage in self-care. As a result, you can have a more balanced lifestyle while still playing a lead role in your loved one's care.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Jonesboro

Some family caregivers require a reprieve after helping a loved one recover from an illness or injury. Others need a vacation after an extended period of caregiving. Because the situations of our clients vary, we always deliver services that are customized to their needs and unique circumstances. 

We also personalize the care we provide based on the senior's age-related difficulties or chronic conditions. Whether your loved one is struggling with Alzheimer's disease or has mobility limitations, our care providers can assist them with their daily routines and help them remain safe and comfortable while you're away.

Below are some of the services we can provide for your loved one:

• A helping hand with bathing and grooming
• Healthy meal preparation and clean-up
• Light chores around the house
• Reliable transportation to doctors' offices
• Participation in joyful leisure time activities
• Companionship and soothing emotional support
