It's understandable if you feel responsible for meeting your loved one's senior care needs. However, if these needs begin to increase over time, you might not be able to manage them all on your own. That's what respite care is for. At Visiting Angels^® Mesa, our respite care services are an excellent solution for local families who want to remain in charge of their loved one's home care but need a helping hand from a professional. When you know you can rely on a member of our caregiving team to assist your loved one, you can take breaks as needed and avoid the detrimental consequences of caregiver burnout.

What is Respite Care?

The main difference between this care type and traditional home care is that the family caregiver takes the lead in the caregiving process. Visits from our care providers can be scheduled as needed, whether that's on a weekly basis or for the duration of a short-term vacation. As our approach to care is entirely flexible, you can have confidence we'll be able to accommodate your family's unique situation as well as any challenging senior care requirements your loved one may have.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Mesa

Through our services, we aim to offer a full support system for family caregivers in the Mesa area that allows them to find more balance in their lives and continue offering high-quality care for their loved ones. As a result, we don't limit the types of services available as part of respite care. Even specialized Alzheimer's care and dementia care can be organized under this category of care. 

Below are some of the ways in which our care providers can assist your loved one:

• Offering support with bathing, getting dressed, and grooming tasks
