When your loved one requires frequent support with basic activities of daily living, you may wonder how you can handle all of their needs on your own. The truth is, you don't have to. When you turn to a professional respite care provider in Outer Banks like Visiting Angels^® Kitty Hawk, you can have assistance with your care duties. Additionally, you can gain peace of mind that your loved one is in safe hands whenever you need to be away or want to take a break from caregiving.

What is Respite Care?

When you choose our local senior care agency in the Outer Banks area, you'll find that respite care is a support system you know you can count on. While you'll continue to perform the majority of caregiving duties on your own, one of our professional caregivers can offer a helping hand or step in to care for your loved one while you take care of your other priorities. 

The goal of this type of care is to minimize your risk of experiencing the physical, mental, and emotional burnout that often arises when family caregivers are the only form of support their loved ones have. Instead of burning the candle at both ends, you'll have the chance to rest, recuperate, and regain a semblance of balance in your lifestyle.
