At Visiting Angels Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula^®, our respite care services not only help elderly adults in Gloucester and surrounding areas receive quality care, but also help family caregivers take a break from supporting their loved ones.

Providing care for an aging loved one is one of the most generous things you can do. Although caregiving is essentially a rewarding experience, it can also be demanding, stressful, and even overwhelming. So what about those times when you need to take a break? For you to be able to provide the best possible care for a loved one, you also need to prevent burnout and make sure you take care of yourself. Visiting Angels Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula is here to help. Our in-home respite care services allow you to take temporary breaks from caregiving whenever you need to.

The Benefits of Respite Care for Families in Gloucester

Respite care typically involves a caregiver stepping in to care for an elderly individual while the family caregiver takes time away. Our caregivers at Visiting Angels Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula are happy to bring you both peace of mind and respite. We understand the sacrifices family caregivers make each and every day, and we are proud to be a trustworthy resource for local families.

Our services provide meaningful support with a variety of daily activities. These can include:

• Light housekeeping and help around the house
• Meal preparation
• Medication reminders
• Grocery shopping
• Help with bathing, dressing, and grooming
• Toileting and incontinence care
• And more

With our flexible scheduling, you can rest assured your loved one's needs are met at all times. Depending on your senior loved one’s specific care needs and your personal plans and wishes, a loving care provider can visit for a few hours a day or several times a week. This will give you the opportunity to attend to other important matters you never seem to have time for. You can focus on your career, spend more time with the kids, go on a well-deserved vacation, treat yourself with a day at the spa, or simply stay at home and relax. Meanwhile, your loved one will receive the in-home care services they need from a professional caregiver who will treat them with dignity and respect.

Keep in mind that our services are adaptable as well. Should your loved one require additional visits or specialized care, we can extend our respite care services to include personal care, companion care, or dementia and Alzheimer’s care. Your loved one's care plan and schedule of visits can be changed at any time. Our team is always happy to work closely with you and your loved one to ensure everyone's needs are being met.
