When caring for a loved one feels more overwhelming than rewarding, it may be time to take a break. Working with a professional respite care provider in the Mankato area can allow you to take a step back from your responsibilities for a few days or weeks. That way, you can get the rest you need and engage in the self-care you've been putting off for so long. When you return to your role as a family caregiver, you can do so feeling energized and ready to continue helping your loved one age in place.

At Visiting Angels^® Mankato, we always encourage family caregivers to get started with respite care before they feel the effects of burnout set in. With our support, you can manage your care duties while maintaining a more comfortable balance in your life. At the same time, you can ensure your loved one always has access to exceptional care that is personalized to suit their needs. 

What is Respite Care?

Our local agency categorizes this care type as a short-term or temporary schedule of visits designed to give family caregivers a set period of time away from the demands of caregiving. Family caregivers can choose to use this time as they please. Whether they decide to go on vacation or simply relax nearby, they will have the opportunity to take care of themselves and preserve their well-being.
