Respite care isn't just another form of senior home care. It serves as a lifeline for both unpaid family caregivers and the seniors who rely on them. Without a professional care provider to call on when the going gets tough, these family caregivers may experience something called caregiver burnout. Our team of care professionals at Visiting Angels^® Minot is dedicated to serving families in the local community by delivering high-quality respite care services that are both flexible and completely customizable.

What is Respite Care?

We know caring for someone you love can be much more difficult than it sounds. We're here to ease your burden by offering a helping hand when needed. Respite care services are designed to give family caregivers time off when they feel overwhelmed or simply need a break. Unlike with other forms of home care, the family caregiver continues to offer care for the senior for the long term, but always has the option of scheduling in a bit of respite.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Minot

These services help family caregivers by substantially minimizing their risk of caregiver burnout. Having professional support also makes caring for a loved one more manageable and more sustainable.

We are prepared to deliver a number of specialized services to give family caregivers peace of mind while they are away from their loved ones. Some of the tasks our care providers are ready to help out with include:

• Laundry, vacuuming, and other light chores
• Preparing meals and shopping for groceries when needed
• Giving seniors medication reminders they can rely on
• Assisting with activities of daily living
• Building relationships and engaging in conversation
• Offering a helping hand with personal care routines

These services are generally delivered on a short-term basis according to a customized temporary care plan. However, we can also accommodate needs for more regular care visits at weekly, biweekly, or monthly intervals.
