Unpaid family caregivers do important, challenging, and rewarding work. However, sometimes their responsibilities can become overwhelming. When you feel exhausted by the task of caring for a loved one, it's essential to your own personal well-being that you take a break. Respite care services from Visiting Angels® Reno can help you take time off without worry. When a care provider from our professional team is caring for your loved one in a compassionate and comprehensive manner, you'll be able to enjoy your time spent alone without fear you are making a compromise.

What is Respite Care?

Many families are unaware of the benefits of respite care, and some have never even heard of the concept. The term can connotate many different things, but it typically refers to temporary or short-term visits that fill in for a senior's primary source of care for a set period or specified amount of time. Family caregivers often take advantage of this care type to go on vacation, shift their focus to other responsibilities or relationships, or even simply get some much-needed rest while having peace of mind about being away from their loved one.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Reno

Respite care is focused on helping both family caregivers and their loved ones. Thanks to this form of care, family caregivers have the opportunity to regain a sense of balance and avoid caregiver burnout. On the other hand, seniors get the chance to interact with compassionate, patient, and kind individuals who want to build relationships with them while meeting their care needs.

There's no one set plan for this care type. Instead, we customize our services according to the needs and unique preferences of our clients. Services that could potentially appear on your loved one's care plan are:

• Support with sensitive personal care routines
• Transportation, walking assistance, and mobility support
• Basic homemaking and housekeeping tasks, including meal preparation
• Social activities, conversation, and emotional support
• Reminders and reliable supervision
