When you're caring for a loved one, you may feel like the need to care for yourself is something that can wait. However, being an unpaid family caregiver comes with a number of stressors and can take a toll on you physically, as well as mentally and emotionally. The only way to make sure you have the energy to give your loved one the compassionate care they deserve is to make self-care a priority. Thanks to the respite care services offered by Visiting Angels^® Norfolk, NE, you can finally have time for yourself while continuing to play an active role in your loved one's care.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care can be thought of in a number of ways, and it can take different forms depending on the unique needs of family caregivers and the seniors they support. In general, though, we think of this care type as a robust support system for overworked family caregivers in the Norfolk area. Our services are like a lifeline you can call on whenever you're feeling weary or depleted. Whether you choose to take a short break for a few hours or go on vacation for a longer period of time, you'll have the confidence of knowing your loved one is in safe hands even when you're not there to care for them.

How Respite Care Helps

We offer a wide range of services under this care type to make certain family caregivers whose loved ones have needs both small and large can receive high-quality support. Whether your loved one is coping with a memory disorder like Alzheimer's disease or requires regular social interaction to prevent senior isolation, we can offer them tailored care based on their everyday routines and your special requests.

Services commonly included on our customized respite care plans in Norfolk are as follows:

• Help with laundry and housekeeping
• Diet planning and cooking nourishing food
• Providing reliable reminders about medication
• Assisting with personal care tasks
• Comforting companionship and conversation
