When caring for a loved one leaves you feeling exhausted or prevents you from maintaining other relationships in your life, a respite care provider can give you the relief you need. Respite care in Plymouth-Canton is an option for unpaid family caregivers thanks to our local senior care agency. At Visiting Angels^® Plymouth, it's our mission to not only be a lifeline for seniors who require support at home, but to also help their family caregivers maintain a high quality of life and peace of mind about their loved one's situation.

What is Respite Care?

This type of care differs from our other senior care programs in a few ways. The main one is that the family caregiver continues assisting their loved one as much as they are comfortable with. We match them with a care provider from our team who can support them with their duties. For some, this may mean having the opportunity to take regularly scheduled breaks on a weekly or monthly basis. For others, it opens the possibility for a longer vacation or for them to turn their attention to another area of their life for a short-term period.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Plymouth-Canton

Our services can help seniors in the Plymouth-Canton area who are dealing with a variety of age-related difficulties. We can handle most of the duties on the family caregiver's to-do list, whether they involve basic personal or companion care tasks or require more advanced forms of caregiving.

For example, we can lend a hand by:

• Helping seniors bathe, dress, and groom
• Cooking meals and shopping at the grocery store
• Being patient companions for isolated seniors
• Doing chores around the house and tidying up
• Transporting seniors to appointments

Getting Started with Respite Care

You can easily learn more about what our services entail by setting up a free consultation with one of our care coordinators. Through this initial meeting, you'll have the chance to discuss your caregiving routine and your loved one's needs, as well as your own needs for time off. Then, we'll start constructing a care plan that gives you relief and allows you to avoid caregiver burnout.
