Whether you’re a dedicated caretaker for a senior loved one, or helping them more often in a short-time capacity as they recover from an illness or hospitalization, you know how rewarding–and challenging–caregiving can be.

Being a volunteer caregiver is a selfless role. You’re focused on your loved one’s well-being, sometimes at the expense of your own needs. This can put you at risk of caregiver burnout, which is physical, emotional and mental exhaustion that can happen when you’re constantly caring for someone.

You might feel stressed, frustrated and isolated, and your own health may even suffer as a result. It can be even more taxing if you’re caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

It’s important to remember you’re not alone. Visiting Angels Palos Verdes is here to help with respite care in Rolling Hills, CA. Our temporary caregivers are often available as little or as often as you need us, giving you a much-needed break to rest and recharge.

If you think your loved one could benefit from short-term senior care, call us at (424) 772-6604 today to learn more!

How In-Home Respite Care Works

Family caregivers need to take care of themselves. In-home respite care is designed to give you a temporary break so you can rest, take care of errands or handle other responsibilities. At Visiting Angels, our care plans are designed around your loved one’s needs, so we’re available to provide caregiver relief for a few hours, for a couple of days or even for ongoing, regular support.

Respite care doesn’t just benefit you. It also provides your senior loved one with social interaction and skilled support that improves their well-being. Being around someone new can also help them feel less lonely or isolated.

How Respite Care Provides Caregiver Relief

Caregiver burnout can take a real toll on your health. In addition to increasing your stress and exhaustion levels, you might find yourself:

• Struggling to sleep and stay asleep
• Unable to keep up with personal responsibilities
• Unmotivated even though you have many tasks to accomplish
• Feeling resentful about taking care of your loved one
• Coping through unhealthy behaviors, including alcohol, drugs, overeating or undereating
• Withdrawing from friends, family and hobbies

As a caregiver, it’s important to be physically and mentally healthy. And it’s OK to ask Visiting Angels for help when you feel overwhelmed!
