Caring for a loved one can be incredibly difficult, which is why it’s so important for family caregivers to have access to reliable respite care services. At Visiting Angels^® Florence, we offer a range of home care services to provide family caregivers with respite from their duties and time to engage in self-care.

Our professional care providers can have a major impact on the quality of life and overall well-being of both seniors and exhausted family caregivers. If you’re responsible for meeting the senior care needs of a parent, grandparent, or spouse, consider partnering with our care professionals to ensure you avoid the far-reaching consequences of caregiver burnout.

What is Respite Care in Florence?

Respite care acts as a lifeline for family caregivers. Unlike other types of home care that task a professional with performing the majority of caregiving duties, respite care services do not replace family caregivers. Instead, they provide these individuals with a reliable support system.

Care visits can be scheduled on a regular basis to make caregiving more manageable and reduce the workload of family caregivers. Care can also be coordinated when family caregivers want to take a vacation or extended period of time off.

How Respite Care Helps

This category of care covers a wide range of caregiving duties, from standardized services like personal care and companion care to the more specialized Alzheimer’s care and dementia care. Each senior is matched with a professional caregiver who has the capacity to meet their unique needs in a compassionate and respectful manner.

Our caregivers can deliver many different forms of care, including help with:

• Personal care routines
• Laundry and basic housekeeping chores
• Planning and preparing meals and snacks
• Remembering medication timetables
• Getting to doctors’ appointments
• Walking and general mobility
