Professional respite care delivered by compassionate care providers can truly make a positive difference for unpaid family caregivers and their loved ones. This kind of care usually revolves around meeting short-term needs and giving family caregivers time away from their responsibilities. When high-quality care delivered by a senior care professional is available, family caregivers in the Pocatello area can take a vacation or short break guilt-free.

The compassionate team at Visiting Angels^® Pocatello understands that as much as you want to continue caring for your loved one, you need a break every now and then. If you are supporting a spouse, parent, relative, or family friend with their age-related needs, our care providers are ready to lend a hand, so you can ensure your needs are met as well.  

What is Respite Care?

We've built our services around the mission of providing a comprehensive support system for family caregivers. The difference between this care type and some of the other forms of home care we offer is that family caregivers continue to play the lead role in helping their loved ones age in place. Our services simply provide the opportunity for these overworked individuals to hit pause on their busy schedules and pencil in time for self-care. 

Because family caregivers are so often at risk of caregiver burnout, taking breaks is key not only to their personal well-being, but to their ability to offer empathetic and effective care for their loved ones. All in all, you can count on our services to make your role as a family caregiver more manageable and bring a sense of balance to your life.
