Caring for a loved one allows you to bond with them in new ways during an important life stage. However, the demands of caregiving can also have negative effects on your relationship with them and with yourself. Ensure you are maintaining balance in your life while acting as a family caregiver by taking a break when necessary. Using the services of a professional respite care provider in the Pittsburgh East area, you can make certain your loved one is properly cared for while you tend to your own personal needs.

At Visiting Angels^® Verona, we realize what a wonderful opportunity it can be to care for a loved one. To continue providing them with the quality care they need and deserve, it is crucial that you look after your own well-being. We can help you make the time to engage in self-care and get some much-needed rest.

What is Respite Care?

We typically refer to respite care services as short-term home care that meets temporary needs. Family caregivers often book visits from our care providers for the Verona area when they want to go on vacation, run errands, or spend time with other people they care about. Knowing their loved one is in caring hands, they can confidently take time off without guilt or concern.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Verona

One of the main benefits of this type of care is that it helps family caregivers avoid burnout. Burnout can have serious consequences affecting the physical, mental, and emotional condition of the caregiver. Spending time away from the demands of this role is essential to finding balance and avoiding burnout.

While you take a break, your loved one can benefit from services such as:

• Help with light housekeeping
