For unpaid family caregivers, life can become very hectic very quickly. Before you feel completely exhausted by your loved one's needs, be sure to get started with respite care. At Visiting Angels^® Ocala, we realize how overwhelming it can be to care for a loved one throughout their golden years. Whenever you need a short break or vacation, you can turn to our team of professional care providers. We'll help make it possible for you to get some much-needed respite so you can protect your physical, mental, and emotional energy for the long-term.  

What is Respite Care?

In contrast to many other forms of home care, respite care retains the family caregiver in the role of the primary care provider for the senior. You can continue performing the majority of your caregiving responsibilities while requesting help from our care professionals on a weekly or monthly basis. Or, you can simply have us take over your responsibilities while you go on a short-term break or vacation. By maintaining this flexible approach to delivering care, we help ensure families in Ocala never have to compromise the quality of care their loved ones receive.
