Respite Care Services in Portsmouth

As a family caregiver, it sometimes feels like the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. But you can—and should—ask for help. At Visiting Angels^® Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk, we offer compassionate respite care services for family caregivers. 

Here's how to get started. 

How To Plan For Respite Care Services  

With our home care agency in Portsmouth, you can always reach out to us. We can guide you through each step of the care process, so you're not dealing with it alone. 

If you want to prepare ahead of time, here are a few ways to do so: 

• Identify your needs. First of all, it's important to think about what you need. Are you looking for a professional caregiver who can assist you with tasks? Do you need to take a few days off every week? Allow yourself to consider how much rest and support you need. It's important to make sure that caregiving can be sustainable for you.   
• Assess your care tasks. You'll then want to identify which tasks you help your loved one with. A good way to break this down is by looking at an average week and taking note of how you support them each day. Do you provide emotional support? Do you assist with meals? Try to be as specific as possible. 
• Discuss with your loved one. If you can, it's always helpful to bring your loved one in Portsmouth into the conversation. They may have additional needs that they'll want to identify now. They may have questions or concerns about respite care services. Being able to keep them looped in can make this process easier for everyone.
