When caregiving leads to burnout, family caregivers often find they are unable to offer the high-quality care they know their loved one needs and deserves. One way to prevent burnout before it starts is to arrange respite care services from a trusted care provider in Bloomington. At Visiting Angels^® South Central Indiana, our care professionals know that supporting a loved one can take a physical, mental, and emotional toll. We're available to give family caregivers a much-needed breather so they can address their own needs and return feeling ready to help their loved ones through thick and thin. 

What is Respite Care?

If you've never heard the term "respite care," you may be wondering how this type of care differs from other forms of home care. In contrast to the other home care programs available through our care agency, respite care is delivered on a temporary basis. With access to short-term care, family caregivers can take time off for a set period to go on vacation, visit with friends and family, run errands, or engage in soothing self-care. All the while, they can feel completely guilt free about taking a break because they'll know their loved one is in the safe and capable hands of one of our professional care providers in the Bloomington area.
