With our respite care, Visiting Angels^® Seattle provides a great option for many local families. This care plan is designed to provide crucial assistance to family care providers. We understand that it can be hard to step away and delegate your loved one's care to a stranger. However, with a life of your own to live, it can also be incredibly difficult to juggle all of these responsibilities. With our home care, you'll have a kind, reliable, and trustworthy caregiver to lean on as often as you need. 

We can provide full or part-time assistance, depending on your specific needs. This will allow you to remain directly involved in your loved one's care, but without the stress and burden of taking it all on by yourself. Our loving care providers have all been fully vetted with background and reference checks, so you'll never have to feel nervous about leaving your loved one in their care. 

What is Respite Care?

Our care is your chance to create a happier, healthier, and safer home life for your loved one without spreading yourself too thin. As a dedicated home care provider with many years in the industry, we've seen caregiver burnout happen time and time again. It is easy to fall into the trap of neglecting your own well-being in order to care for an aging relative.

With our loving support, there's no reason you have to sacrifice your own health and sanity just to keep your loved one living at home. We can provide the flexible service you need to take time away without letting your loved one down.

Getting Started with Respite Care

With flexible care to relieve family members and provide added comfort for local seniors, Visiting Angles Seattle can create a better situation for you and your loved one. We offer our respite care services throughout Seattle, North Seattle, Des Moines, West Seattle, Magnolia, Burien, and the surrounding areas.

To get started, your first step is to schedule a free initial care consultation. During this visit we will answer your questions, gather info about your care needs, and provide you with a customized care plan that suits your loved one.

For example, we will take the time to learn as much as we can about your loved one's daily routine and the needs that they encounter during these habitual activities. We will also discuss the level of assistance that would make them feel comfortable and supported while preserving their dignity and independence. This conversation will additionally give us a look into your loved one's personality and lifestyle preferences so that we can choose the best caregiver match possible from Visiting Angels Seattle.

Because properly tailored respite care services can be so beneficial for family caregivers, we will also ask you about your own needs and preferences when it comes to your loved one's care and scheduling. You may be hoping to plan an extended vacation that you can enjoy without worry, or simply want to be able to pencil in some time for yourself or your other responsibilities throughout the week. Whether you need to arrange respite care for a few hours or a few weeks, we will be able to create a plan that perfectly accommodates both your needs and those of your elderly loved one.
