There's nothing more precious than family, which is probably why you've risen to the occasion by acting the caregiver for an elderly parent or grandparent. However, it's important that your dedication to your loved one's care not come at the cost of your own health, work or relationships. Respite care from Visiting Angels^® Matawan is a way for families in our community to provide comprehensive support for their loved ones at home without spreading themselves too thin. 

Respite Care in the Comfort of Home

Why is respite care so important? Without someone to lean on, family caregivers run a high risk of burning themselves out. 

The negative repercussions of doing so can have wide-reaching and long-lasting effects on many areas of their lives including personal relationships and finances. Common signs of burnout include loss of energy, feelings of hopelessness, lack of interest in favorite activities, neglecting your own needs, and changes in eating habits. 

If you've noticed a change in how you are feeling and coping with your role of family caregiver, it maybe time to consider respite care services.
