When a loved one needs care, it’s natural to want to step up to help them out. However, many family caregivers work themselves to the point of burnout. A solution that allows you to continue helping your loved one without burning the candle at both ends is respite care. Our local care agency connects families in Stroudsburg with care professionals who can give them relief from their duties based on their scheduling preferences and their loved one’s care requirements.

What is Respite Care?

At Visiting Angels^® Stroudsburg, we understand the incredibly difficult circumstances family caregivers face. When you only want the best for your loved one, you’ll put your own health and well-being on the line. Nonetheless, to offer the supportive and attentive care your loved one deserves, you need to be full of energy and have emotional perseverance. Only by taking time off for self-care on a regular basis can you maintain your energy levels and ensure you continue to provide high-quality care.

With respite care from Visiting Angels Stroudsburg, you can have the opportunity to reserve visits from a care provider that allow you to take a much-needed break from the routine of caregiving. Whether you choose to get some shut eye, run errands, or connect with friends and family members, this time away from your role as a caregiver can help you feel more balanced and at ease.
