As a family caregiver, it’s normal to feel tired and at some points even overwhelmed. However, the longer you feel this way, the more you put yourself at risk of caregiver burnout. Respite care services delivered by our compassionate care providers in the Escondido, Poway, Ramona, Mira Mesa, Rancho Penasquitos, Scripps Ranch or nearby community can help you live a more balanced lifestyle while continuing to support your loved one with their age-related needs.

What is Respite Care?

At Visiting Angels^® San Diego, we know that respite care can mean different things to different families. For some family caregivers, this type of care provides them with the chance to run errands or meet up with friends while having confidence their loved one is safe and comfortable. For others, our services offer a chance to take a well-deserved vacation without guilt. This type of care can also take the form of ongoing services that give family caregivers a few hours off each week, minimizing their burden and making their schedule less demanding.

Our main goal with this care type is to help family caregivers feel supported and give them the lifeline they need to ensure their loved one in the North San Diego area receives high-quality care at all times. We are proud to be able to provide a wide range of home care services, making respite care an option for seniors with both basic and challenging care requirements.
