If you’re caring for a loved one on a regular basis, you’re not alone. Over forty million Americans deliver unpaid care for a spouse, parent, grandparent, or other family member. For many of these individuals, respite care is an excellent option that can enable them to maintain their own well-being while providing high-quality care for their loved one. At Visiting Angels^® Long Beach, we're honored to be a lifeline for family caregivers who want to avoid feeling burned out, exhausted, and overwhelmed by their duties. Our services can make your responsibilities more manageable and your workload a little easier.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care services are provided in cases where family caregivers want to continue acting as their loved one’s main source of support. While continuing to perform the majority of caregiving duties, these individuals can also regularly take time off. One of our professional care providers at Visiting Angels Long Beach can step in to allow them to take weekly breaks, go on a short-term vacation, or even have certain evenings or weekends off on a monthly basis.
