You shouldn't have to face your loved one's needs for support on your own. If you're an unpaid family caregiver and you're feeling overwhelmed by your long list of responsibilities, respite care is an option to consider. At Visiting Angels^® Roanoke, we have respite care services available for family caregivers who simply need a short break or want ongoing support. Our goal is to offer you a lifeline that makes you feel like you can finally take a deep breath and regain a semblance of balance in your personal life.

What is Respite Care?

When you request respite care from Visiting Angels Roanoke, we won't arrange for a professional care provider to take your place as your loved one's main source of support. Instead, we'll match your loved one with a capable care professional who can step in when you want to take time off or visit on a regularly scheduled basis so you always have breaks to look forward to. 

By taking this more balanced approach to your role as a caregiver, you can avoid experiencing burnout that could impact your ability to care for your loved one. We'll make sure you have time to rest and recuperate, promoting your ability to be physically, mentally, and emotionally strong even in difficult times.
