Caring for a loved one shouldn’t leave you depleted of energy and without time to care for yourself. If you lack the time off you need to live a balanced lifestyle while helping a loved one, consider reaching out to a professional respite care provider. At Visiting Angels^® San Luis Obispo, we offer short-term care visits and temporary care plans for family caregivers who want to continue in their role but could use a break every now and then. When you have the support of our care team, you’ll always know you have a lifeline that allows you to avoid burnout.

What is Respite Care?

When you choose this type of care, you will maintain the bulk of your caregiving duties while maintaining a more manageable care schedule. You can schedule to have a care professional visit your loved one when you need a helping hand with their care or when you want to take a few hours or days off. This kind of flexible care can make a world of difference for those who find joy in caregiving but feel their demanding schedule is becoming overwhelming.

How Respite Care Helps Seniors in San Luis Obispo

You won’t be limited in your options for care simply because you choose respite care over another form of home care. We’ll be sure to match your loved one with a care professional who can handle their full range of care requirements as well as their lifestyle and scheduling preferences. That way, family caregivers who serve seniors with needs both large and small can benefit from time to engage in self-care. 

Examples of some of the services we can provide your loved one in San Luis Obispo are:

• Doing simple housekeeping tasks
• Cooking healthy meals based on dietary requirements
• Reminding seniors about taking medications
• Providing support with bathing and dressing
• Preventing senior isolation through compassionate companionship
