As a family caregiver, it's important for you to take a break every now and then. Respite care services give you the opportunity to enjoy time off without worrying about the situation of your loved one in Lake Jackson. At Visiting Angels^® Brazoria County, we are proud to offer care that enriches the quality of life of both seniors and the family members who care for them. You can turn to us whether you need to take a short break, a longer vacation, or want to reduce your care responsibilities.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is tailored to the needs of care recipients and their family caregivers in the Lake Jackson area. As a result, it can take many forms. In general, though, this care type includes temporary care in the comfort of seniors' homes. With the knowledge that their loved ones are safe and sound, family caregivers can step away from their normal duties and experience some much-needed self-care.

Our services can be scheduled according to your preferences, whether you want a care professional to look after your loved one on a weekly or monthly basis or for a set period of time while you go out of town. Our main goal is to enable you to rest, relax, recharge, and take some time to yourself.
