Helping a loved one age in place may be one of the most rewarding things you do in your life. However, it may also be one of the most challenging undertakings you attempt. As an unpaid family caregiver, you may realize you have little time to rest or care for yourself. Eventually, this lack of personal time can take a toll on your well-being and your ability to support your loved one. Fortunately, you can always turn to a professional respite care provider in Savannah for help.

At Visiting Angels^® Savannah, we offer home care services that support both seniors and their unpaid family caregivers. We offer professional care for your loved one whenever you need a break from your demanding schedule.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is often defined as temporary home care or short-term care visits for an elderly adult that allows their primary caregiver to take time off. At Visiting Angels Savannah, we understand that each family in our community has different needs, care priorities, and scheduling preferences, which is why we take a customizable approach to this care type that ensures our clients' requirements are fully accommodated.

When one of our care providers is assisting your loved one, you can have a few guilt-free hours, days, or weeks to yourself. We encourage you to use this time to get some much-needed rest or foster other important relationships in your life. After having some time to yourself, you can return to your caregiving role feeling refreshed and energized.
