Everyone can benefit from a break every now and then, and family caregivers are no exception. However, many unpaid family caregivers in the local area are unsure of where to turn to for support with their duties. That's why we're so proud to offer respite care services at Visiting Angels^® Missouri City. Care providers from our local agency can step in for family caregivers so they can get the time off they need to preserve their well-being and make caregiving more sustainable.

What is Respite Care?

In-home respite care can significantly lower family caregivers' risk of burnout. Our services make caring for a loved one more manageable and less exhausting. Furthermore, they help family caregivers protect their ability to offer patient and empathetic care to a loved one.

If you require time to rest and recuperate from the exhausting task of caregiving, we can care for your loved one while you focus on meeting your own needs. Generally, our services are provided on a temporary basis. However, if your daily or weekly caregiving routine has simply become too much, we can also conduct regular care visits to spread out your workload.
