When the responsibility of managing a loved one's care prevents you from maintaining your own well-being, it may be time to step back from your overwhelming duties. Fortunately, there's a way to take a break from caregiving while knowing your loved one is being properly cared for. Respite care services from Visiting Angels^® Scranton offer exhausted family caregivers the opportunity to enjoy time off that leaves them feeling refreshed and makes the task of caregiving more sustainable.

What is Respite Care?

Respite care is a set of senior home care services that are delivered for a short-term period, giving family caregivers temporary relief from the pressure of their constant responsibilities. Our services are flexible and can be provided according to the unique scheduling preferences of family caregivers. For example, some of our clients schedule care visits when they want to go on vacation or need to leave town. Others opt to book visits from a care provider when they want a few hours for themselves or need to run errands.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in Scranton

We aim for respite care to not only help family caregivers improve their quality of life. We also strive to help seniors feel more at ease with the process of aging in place. Our care professionals are prepared to go the extra mile to assist elderly adults with their daily routines at home, ensuring they can maintain their independence even when their family caregiver is not available to support them.

We always adapt our services to suit the care requirements of individual care recipients. These services include but are not limited to the following:

• Help with shopping for groceries and cooking meals
• Light housekeeping assistance to keep the home environment tidy
• Social interaction and emotional support to prevent senior isolation
